Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share some exciting news about an initiative that reflects our commitment to making OIA one of the best places to work in Oman. Over the coming weeks, we will be conducting a comprehensive Organizational Culture Assessment in partnership with Talent Arabia, a leading regional consultancy specializing in people and culture. This assessment will give us a clear, honest picture of our workplace culture, helping us understand what we do well and where we can improve.

Why are we doing this? Because our people are the foundation of everything we achieve. As we continue to grow and evolve, I want to make sure that OIA is a place where every employee feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. This assessment is not about finding faults. It is about listening to you, learning from your experiences, and taking meaningful action to build an even stronger organization together.

In the next two to three weeks, you will receive an invitation to participate in an anonymous online survey. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete, and it is available in both English and Arabic. Your participation is voluntary, but I strongly encourage everyone to take part. The more voices we hear, the more accurate and useful our findings will be. I want to assure you that all responses are completely anonymous and will be collected and analyzed by Talent Arabia, not by OIA internally.

I am personally committed to reviewing the results and, most importantly, acting on them. This is not an exercise that will sit on a shelf. Your feedback will directly shape the actions we take to improve our workplace.

More details will follow soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our HR team.

Thank you for being part of this important journey.

Dear Managers,

As you are aware from the CEO's recent announcement, OIA will be launching a comprehensive Culture Assessment in partnership with Talent Arabia. As a people manager, you play a critical role in the success of this initiative. This email provides you with everything you need to know and the talking points to use with your teams.

What is the Culture Assessment?

This is a confidential, organization-wide assessment that includes an online survey, focus groups, and interviews. It is designed to measure employee perceptions across key dimensions such as leadership, communication, innovation, collaboration, and career development. The findings will be used to develop targeted action plans for organizational improvement.

What We Need From You

• Encourage participation: Let your team know that their input matters and that leadership genuinely wants to hear from everyone.
• Protect anonymity: Never ask team members whether they have completed the survey or what they wrote. Do not try to identify responses.
• Do not influence answers: Avoid coaching, suggesting, or pressuring team members toward specific responses. The value of this assessment lies in honest, unfiltered feedback.
• Allow time: Give team members dedicated time during work hours to complete the survey thoughtfully.
• Address concerns: If team members express hesitation, reassure them about anonymity and the purpose of the assessment.

Key Talking Points for Team Meetings

• The survey is completely anonymous. Responses are collected by Talent Arabia, an external partner, and individual responses are never shared with OIA.
• The survey takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and is available in English and Arabic.
• Leadership is committed to acting on the results. This is not just a data collection exercise.
• Every voice counts. Higher participation means more representative results.

Q: Will this lead to changes?
A: Yes. The CEO has personally committed to reviewing the findings and developing action plans based on the results.

Q: Is participation mandatory?
A: Participation is voluntary, but strongly encouraged. The more people participate, the more meaningful and useful the results will be.

• The assessment also highlighted opportunities for growth in areas such as internal communication, career development pathways, and cross-departmental collaboration.

During the Town Hall, we will present the detailed findings, discuss what they mean for us as an organization, and outline the next steps. Following the organization-wide presentation, department-level sessions will be arranged so that each team can explore their specific results in more depth.

I genuinely believe that this assessment, and the actions that will follow, mark an important step forward for OIA. I encourage everyone to attend.
