OCS to CNBC Indonesia: Ethical Labour, Green Skills are Key for National Workforce

Exactly a week ago, OCS Indonesia participated in CNBC Indonesia’s PROFIT programme to discuss how the nation can strengthen its workforce in line with rising industry standards, digital requirements, and Indonesia’s long-term objectives in energy transition and economic resilience.

The discussion highlighted several structural challenges affecting the labour market, including gaps in regulatory enforcement, the absence of a minimum administration fee that contributes to a race to the bottom, and the need for clearer vocational pathways as more young Indonesians enter the workforce. These dynamics directly influence service quality, operational stability, and workforce welfare across industries.

During the interview, OCS Indonesia reiterated its commitment to integrity, ethical conduct, and full compliance with labour and safety standards. OCS also stated its position against any practices resembling modern slavery and reaffirmed its responsibility to uphold fair wages and benefits, safety protection, and the dignity of all colleagues across operational sites. These principles remain central to the way OCS operates and governs its services.

OCS Indonesia’s business focus reflects national priorities. The manufacturing sector remains a core segment due to its significance in GDP contribution and its role in supporting industrial security. OCS also continues expanding its capabilities in energy resources and data centres, recognising their critical importance to Indonesia’s energy security, digital infrastructure, and economic continuity. These sectors require high workforce reliability supported by green skills, digital literacy, discipline, and strong character foundations; areas OCS continuously develops through structured training and supervision.

Across customer locations, OCS teams apply green skills, digital tools, ethical standards, and close supervision to ensure safe, consistent, and responsible operations. Workforce development is viewed not only as a productivity driver but as an investment in long-term professional standards and community stability.

As Indonesia advances its industrial agenda, OCS Indonesia remains committed to strengthening workforce capability, reinforcing ethical employment practices, and supporting the creation of a fair, competent, and resilient labour ecosystem aligned with the nation’s strategic goals.
