OMG’s Year of Purposeful Partnership is a year-long initiative designed to foster allyship, build connections, and create meaningful learning opportunities for the OMG community. Through a series of week-long sprints, employees will come together to engage in impactful sessions, community events, social experiences, and more—all designed to cultivate a culture of support, inclusion, and action.
You will build meaningful relationships by getting to know colleagues beyond their job titles—who they are, what they care about, and what makes them unique. True connection comes from sharing experiences and creating a sense of belonging!
Now that you know your colleagues better, let’s dive deeper. Approach others with an open mind, ask thoughtful questions, and take the time to understand the different backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences of your colleagues. Curiosity helps us see beyond work roles and truly appreciate the whole person.
You will recognize and value the lived experiences of those around you. By listening with care, understanding different perspectives, and putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, you will foster a culture of support, kindness, and genuine connection.
Now that you’ve built deeper connections, it’s time to take action. You will step outside your comfort zone to have real conversations, show vulnerability, and stand up for inclusivity. Bravery is about being open, speaking up, and embracing the full humanity of those around you.
