Bailey Moberly – Senior Associate, Software Engineering: Software Development Test (SDET) • Encore Risk – in OCC’s Chicago office.
Since joining OCC more than five years ago, I have watched the company become more inclusive in its activities. OCC provides a welcoming space for coworkers to learn about different cultures and honor them within the workplace. The uniqueness of each and every employee’s culture is something to be highlighted.
OCC does a great job of recognizing cultural traditions, and it's wonderful to see how people of different backgrounds and lifestyles come together to celebrate. I have learned a lot about different cultures and my coworkers, which makes it even more exciting to be able to mark important events with them.
One great example was the Diwali celebration last year; I had forgotten it was that day, but my coworker Hima Kavali surprised me by offering me a set of traditional clothing to wear during the event, along with jewels and accessories to match. We’re already making plans for this year’s event.
Often these celebrations have included dance, an art form close to my heart, and something I haven’t been able to participate in for a while. Watching the dances of different cultures - ones that I haven’t had the opportunity to really study - has been fascinating and makes me hope to continue my dancing sometime soon.
