The event covered four critical themes related to loyalty:
- Loyalty in the Age of Work-from-Home
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.
- Loyalty from Seafarers
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.
- Loyalty in Mergers and Acquisitions
Discussions focused on managing trust during transitions, particularly when employees face new leadership or when leaders inherit a team unfamiliar with their values.
- Firing a Relative
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.
