OES has built a thriving culture of exceptional individuals who are inspired to make a difference through meaningful work. OES is committed to professional development, with a genuine focus on taking a whole person approach. By being entirely people-focused and agile, OES has created a workplace filled with happy and engaged individuals evidenced by multiple ‘Best Employer’ accreditations.
Current vacanciesOur positive and productive work environment has resulted in four consecutive Best Employer accreditations, culminating in the 2017 ‘Best of the Best’ company in the Aon Hewitt Best Employer Awards.
OES is a proud team bound by the spirit of a growth mindset and constantly challenging the status quo. Having a real impact on bettering the lives of students through quality online education is at the heart of everything we do.
Since 2011, OES has experienced exceptionally rapid growth in a fast-paced sector.
A passion for enhancing the student experience is the core focus of all OES employees and underpins the approach taken toward team structures, technology and internal processes.
Being awarded the Aon Hewitt Best Employer Award was particularly rewarding as it is the result of OES achieving consistently high levels of employee engagement scores above 80 per cent – which is more than 20 points above the industry standard. This consistency has been maintained through rapid growth with OES employee numbers increasing by 304 per cent since 2014, showcasing OES’s commitment to staff engagement. OES teams report feeling fulfilled and valued, understanding both their individual goals, as well as those of the organisation.
Maintaining a highly engaged workforce through rapid growth is about ensuring a ‘people first’ culture is at the core of the business strategy, which is communicated at every opportunity throughout every level of the company.
“OES has grown quickly, so it has been necessary to maintain a laser-focus on the drivers that keep our people engaged. This means talking to our people, both informally and formally, on a regular basis and putting in place initiatives employees’ value”
