Oman Oil Marketing Company\'s growing family of 187 employees inspired a sense of confidence and individuality amongst children from Markaz Riayad At\'tufula Child Care Center at the company\'s annual staff day. Celebrating a spirited commitment to omanoil that continues to innovate to better serve the fuel and lubricants marketing industry, staff members and their families welcomed the children to join the festivities with a line-up of engaging games and activities.

Held at Al Nahda Resort & Spa, the staff day opened with stirring words by the CEO who thanked his team for their devotion to the company and for the support of their families. "We are indebted to our employees as omanoil\'s journey would not have come this far without their ardent spirits," expressed CEO, Eng. Omar bin Ahmed Qatan. "Involving the community in emboldening experiences is part and parcel of our business practice as an Omani company. At omanoil, we operate as a family, bettering one another and leading by example to leave a positive legacy for future generations. We wanted to take the children under our wing and introduce them to our aspiring, compassionate and loyal family, to share great moments and memories."

A reflection of omanoil\'s everyday work culture in an outdoor setting, activities were designed to encourage freedom of expression, communication and teamwork, the barebones that deepen and strengthen personal relationships. Eng. Qatan said, "Being integrated into a social setting in a fostering environment gave these children the added confidence to break out of their shells to explore their individual capacities and flourish."

He went on to say, "The children reminded us to live by an ethos of passion, compelling us to be creative, imaginative and resourceful to triumph in the face of adversity."
