On 5th of December 2018 we got to indulge in sweets, treats and fancy Christmas delights which were sponsored by Outpost and purchased from the Taj Hotel.
Janet Bolk very kindly opened her home to us to indulge in our last event for 2018. Thank You Janet!!!
This event was attended by 18 Outpost members and it was lovely to say cheers to the old year with the Christmas spirit.
The Bangalore Outpost office day included a coffee and meet and greet, a very informative campus tour, a guest speaker and ended with lunch at the canteen.
The Tour
Mr Kumar gave us a one-hour tour of the office. We got to see the laboratories (Catalyst, Analytical rooms, PPE, Bitumen, Emergency Testing rooms, etc.).
The Talk
Ms Shubapriya spoke about how Shell is pioneering corporate social responsibility (CSR) by motivating government schools through education with scholarships from Grade 9 to grade 12, with a firm focus of promoting females to continue higher education.
They incentivize local kids to study sciences and give them hands on information on how to enhance their employability opportunities through training.
Road Safety was addressed and major improvements within the Bagalur and Kodigehalli area have already been conquered. The target is to implement a 10km radius from Shell office and to have good signposts, level potholes and minimize the number of accidents to and from the office. Other corporate companies in the area are being targeted to help with this magnanimous project.
Shell is also working on environmental issues and water safety. We were shown before and after photos of a completely dry river to one that is flowing beautifully. The projective plan is to grow deciduous trees as fencing and to use the eco-friendly motto whilst implementing this plan.NB. Shell staff are presently allowed to
The Lunch
We were treated to a canteen lunch at the end of this office day and got to experience what our partners enjoy daily.
An afternoon of golf and a delicious high-tea was enjoyed by 20 of our Outpost members. Some of us participated in a golf clinic whilst the brave and daring relished in a round of golf. All participants then celebrated their accomplishments and were pampered to a sponsored Outpost high-tea.
