The event covered four critical themes related to loyalty:
With hybrid work becoming the norm, panelists explored how flexibility impacts company culture and engagement. The conversation revolved around recruitment challenges, especially in Manila, where jobseekers’ main priority in considering a job is the ‘Work-From-Home' privilege.
Seafarer loyalty was a key topic, with panelists like Svend examining how career opportunities and engagement strategies influence retention. These discussions echo Odfjell’s commitment to providing meaningful careers and fostering long-term relationships with our seafarers.
Discussions focused on managing trust during transitions, particularly when employees face new leadership or when leaders inherit a team unfamiliar with their values.
Agnes joined a panel with leaders from Klaveness to discuss the complexities of handling personal and professional boundaries. The conversation emphasized how cultural nuances shape leadership decisions, particularly in the Philippines.
“The event offered valuable insights into loyalty across different professional settings. It was an opportunity to reflect on our practices, learn from others, and continue building stronger connections within our organization and the wider maritime community,” VP MPS Svend Foyn-Bruun summarized.
