\n

In the first week of June, we held our inaugural\u00a0Resilience Week<\/a>, a global campaign that raises awareness of the everyday actions that help us adapt, stay safe, and thrive. For\u202fMartin Lewis, Group Head of Risk at OCS, Resilience Week is a key step in shifting culture across OCS and a powerful framework for future-proofing the business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally conceived as\u202f\u201cRisk Week\u201d, the thinking quickly evolved into something much more ambitious. \u201cEffective risk management can\u2019t be a tick-box exercise; it has to permeate culture across the whole organisation.\u201d That, in a nutshell, is the genesis of Resilience Week. The concept underscores a simple but powerful observation: while policy and compliance regimes have their place, true resiliency comes from colleagues at all levels understanding, owning, and living it in their daily roles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, when the Resilience functions first came together, it quickly became clear that this approach shouldn\u2019t be limited to risk and health and safety. It was about all the disciplines that collectively make OCS resilient, from physical health and safety to cyber and Safecall, the well-being of people and our environment, and how those components connect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n \n \n <\/g>\n <\/svg>\n
\n

\n Martin explained: \u201cIt starts from a functional discipline \u2014 health and safety, cybersecurity, risk \u2014 but it evolves into a cultural phenomenon. Everyone needs to appreciate their role in protecting their own safety and well-being, but also the future of the whole business.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Turning policy into culture<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

For OCS, this meant designing Resilience Week not as a policy rollout, but as a\u202fcultural intervention\u2014a way to raise awareness and empower our colleagues to take responsibility. There were hardly any policy documents circulated. Instead, there were conversations, stories, interactive sessions, and initiatives designed to bring resiliency to life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about awareness and accountability, two key ingredients for culture change,\u201d Martin explained. \u201cOnce people appreciate their role, policy and compliance become a byproduct of a healthy culture. We\u2019re not just ticking a box; we\u2019re creating a workplace where resiliency is a shared responsibility.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This approach made Resilience Week profoundly different from a typical policy rollout. Instead of framing it in a restrictive, compliance-oriented way, OCS challenged its people to think more broadly, to connect their daily choices and behaviours to the bigger picture.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a ripple of benefits<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Martin is clear that this culture-first view of resiliency brings numerous benefits. The first, of course, is for OCS\u2019s people. \u201cYour workplace should be a place you feel physically and emotionally safe, supported, and valued.\u201d That directly benefits colleagues and their families. For example, cybersecurity training at work can help keep their homes and children safer online.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ripple effects, however, go much further. A resilient OCS is a reliable service provider \u2014 a crucial consideration for our customers and stakeholders. \u201cOur customers want to know we\u2019re going to be there to deliver their services today, tomorrow, and in years to come.\u201d Resilience, in this context, becomes a key selling point and a real business asset.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin highlights this when discussing compliance regimes, often viewed as pure \u201ctick boxes\u201d, but points instead to their ultimate purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n \n \n <\/g>\n <\/svg>\n
\n

\n \u201cCompliance isn\u2019t the objective in itself; it\u2019s a byproduct of having a strong culture. If you cultivate a culture of resiliency, you will naturally become compliant. It\u2019s a much more powerful and sustainable way of thinking.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

Looking forward<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

This first Resilience Week was a starting point, a proof of concept. There are ambitious plans for future years. \u201cWe know the next step is to put the focus on our frontline colleagues, putting resources into their hands in a form they can use at home and work.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Martin also wants to bring this thinking to OCS\u2019s\u202fcustomers and the wider industry. \u201cHow can we help our customers become more resilient?\u201d There\u2019s a clear opportunity for OCS to lead conversations in the industry, framing resiliency not just as a requirement, but as a powerful opportunity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Creating a legacy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Martin\u2019s view is clear: Resilience Week is not a \u201cone-and-done\u201d; it\u2019s a foundation. \u201cWe have the components in place. Now we can grow it, connect more people, and make it a permanent fixture in OCS\u2019s culture.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ultimate aim? To create an organisation where resiliency is a lived, shared, and empowering concept, not something that solely lives in policy documents, but something woven into the daily choices of everyone at OCS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
