Enhancing wellbeing and community at our KSA Employee Village

At Douglas OHI, our commitment to our people extends well beyond the workplace. We recognise that a positive and well-maintained living environment plays a vital role in supporting employee wellbeing, morale, and overall performance. As part of this ongoing commitment, our team has initiated a series of enhancements at our employee village, focused on improving aesthetics, fostering a stronger sense of community, and embedding environmentally responsible practices.

A key initiative led by the Employee Village manager and the onsite team has been the creation of a dedicated garden space, introducing vibrant flowers and greenery throughout the village. Despite the challenging environment, this initiative reflects a clear commitment to incorporating natural elements into daily life, reinforcing respect for the environment while creating a more welcoming and uplifting setting for our workforce.

Complementing the garden initiative, the team has creatively repurposed recycled materials to construct seating areas, including benches and swings. These thoughtfully designed spaces have transformed parts of the employee village into areas that promote relaxation, informal interaction, and a stronger sense of community. By reusing materials in practical and innovative ways, the initiative also contributes to our broader sustainability goals.

Collectively, these enhancements highlight the care and consideration demonstrated by both camp management and leadership in prioritising employee wellbeing alongside environmental responsibility. Through simple yet impactful ideas, the employee village is evolving into more than just accommodation. It is becoming a space that nurtures wellbeing, fosters connection, and reflects our values.

We aim to create spaces that offer a welcoming home away from home, fostering a sense of value, comfort and connection for all.
