ODAŞ follows a comprehensive strategy to support the individual employee development and ensure long-term sustainable corporate success. The company’s core values—"Dynamic," "Collaboration" "Improvement "Reliability" and "Discoverer"—play an important role in its business processes and relations with stakeholders.
ODAŞ's corporate values, which are deeply integrated into the company culture, form the basis of all business processes. According to research published in the Harvard Business Review, companies with strong corporate values increase employee loyalty and support the efficiency and long-term success of the organisation.
By internalising these values, ODAŞ supports the individual development of its employees and makes them feel stronger in the company. The company, which also stands out with its ability to be open to change and adapt quickly to new situations, encourages the development of innovative approaches by keeping its employees' desire to explore alive.
ODAŞ’s Values Guide Employees
ODAŞ embraces an approach that seeks to explore diverse opportunities across various sectors. This strategy serves as a key factor in supporting the company’s entrepreneurial spirit. At the same time, by strengthening internal communication through its values, ODAŞ creates a dynamic and innovative working atmosphere, positively affecting the way employees do business.
ODAŞ People and Culture Director İnci Arıkan states that corporate values are designed in accordance with the company's current structure and future goals. ‘Our values guide our colleagues on their career journeys. Our content, which we regularly update through digital platforms such as ODAŞ Online (intranet), helps our colleagues understand the values in depth.
Both Entertaining and Teaching
ODAŞ aims for employees to internalise values not only theoretically but also through fun and instructive activities. To strengthen teamwork and support the integration of values into business processes, ODAŞ organizes quizzes and digital values games.
Comprehensive training programmes are also offered. Discussing the training processes, Arıkan said, "Our behavioural competencies training focuses on collaboration, results-driven performance, and fostering innovation. In these trainings, our colleagues experience how to practically apply the values through group work and case studies. For all organisations, values reflect the atmosphere of the company. At ODAŞ, we don’t just encourage our colleagues to adopt these values; we also believe in lifelong learning, as highlighted by our Improvement’ value, and we consider our experiences as a guide on this journey. Through these values, we aim to contribute to their future career paths."
Future projects and practices
Arıkan, who also shared ODAŞ's future projects and practices, said, "We have developed projects to make our values more visible to our colleagues in both physical and digital environments. We’ll continue to organise surprise events, trainings, and seminars throughout the year in line with our ODAŞ values calendar. With these practices, which will both entertain and contribute to learning, we’ll address both the theoretical and practical aspects of the values, helping our colleagues gain more knowledge and awareness in this regard."
