THENFAPost,Dubai: After dedicating over a decade of your life to an organization, pushing limits to help your company succeed, it does feel great to see your company recognizing the sacrifices made by a person who stood by you during those sleepless nights or cheered you on when you doubted yourself. This is precisely what Blue Ocean Corporation has done, and the world is taking notice.
In a move never seen before, Blue Ocean Corporation, a UK-based, award-winning multinational conglomerate, has declared that employees who have dedicated 10 years to the company will receive an additional 10% of their basic salary, credited directly to the account of their spouse or immediate family member every month. With over 20 nationalities working under one roof, Blue Ocean always goes the extra mile to ensure they feel noticed and valued. This innovative initiative is a resounding proof that Blue Ocean not only cares for its people but also for their families.
The announcement, made during the organization’s Annual General Meeting at the VOCO Monaco, nestled in the iconic World Islands, Dubai, took employees by surprise, going beyond any typical corporate gesture. This also sheds light on Blue Ocean’s leadership philosophy, one that values people as much as performance. By recognizing not just the employees but also the force that stands behind them, the company is reshaping corporate culture, fostering loyalty, and reinforcing its reputation as a global leader in employee-centric innovation.
“Organizations often acknowledge the hard work of employees, but rarely do they take into account the critical role that their families play in that success. I have already shared this news with my wife and could sense her happiness, even while standing miles apart,” said Mohammed Shafi, Assistant VP-KSA Operations.
This groundbreaking move is bound to spark discussions across boardrooms worldwide. Companies are now being urged to rethink how they value not only the contributions of their employees but also those who support them behind the scenes.
For Percy Jal Engineer, the Senior Director-Academics at Blue Ocean Corporation, this move was nothing short of transformative. “This recognition feels so personal. It’s not just for me, but for my wife, who dealt with the late hours and the stress I brought home. I’m overwhelmed that Blue Ocean sees it too.”
His wife shared her excitement over a live phone call for considering the relentless efforts put forth by the family in a person’s career.
“This initiative sets a new standard for corporate responsibility, showing that companies can, and should, care for both the employee and the support system that makes their success possible”, said Dr Sathya Menon, the Group CEO of Blue Ocean Corporation. “As Blue Ocean continues its exponential growth, we are committed to setting a new global standard for employee recognition,” he added.
In a world that often celebrates individual success, Blue Ocean’s initiative underscores the power of collaboration, not just within the office, but also in the homes where the most meaningful sacrifices are made.
“This is so much more than just a paycheck. This is about showing that the organization truly gets it, that behind every employee is a whole network of support,” said Mr Abdul Azeez, the Group Chairman of Blue Ocean Corporation.
But the generosity didn’t stop there. The Annual General Meeting also witnessed the organization recognizing the top performers from the past year with luxury prizes like Rolex, Louis Vuitton, latest iPhones, international vacations, and many more. Along with being a part of this game-changing initiative, Mohammed Irfan, Vice President – Training was awarded with a brand-new Nissan Patrol for the tireless efforts he put forward to take the organization to new heights.
“This 10-years recognition truly stands out, turning what could have been just another corporate gesture into something deeply personal, touching, and life-affirming,” said Irfan, as he took the stage to receive the reward.
As the world watches, Blue Ocean has set a new precedent, proving that success is not just about the work you do, but the lives you touch along the way. And perhaps, this is the kind of change the corporate world needs to see more of.
