Ocean Investments, home to Resolute, named Mercer #1 Employer in Bulgaria for 2025

Ocean Investments, the group Resolute is part of, has been named Mercer #1 Employer in Bulgaria for 2025. The recognition is based on employee feedback and measured through a globally recognized methodology, which makes it more than a headline. It reflects how people actually experience the companies inside the group.

And that matters.

Because culture is never just an internal story. It shapes how teams work, how decisions get made, and how companies move when things get hard, fast, or uncertain.

At Resolute, we see that every day.

We know that strong teams are not built through slogans. They are built through trust, clarity, ownership, and the feeling that your work matters. That is why being part of an ecosystem recognized in this way feels meaningful. It validates something we care deeply about: building an environment where people can do good work, grow, and have a real voice in how things evolve.

The recognition itself is grounded in employee input from across Ocean Investments.

Here’s the part that tells the real story

In the 2025 study, the group reached an 83% engagement score with an 87% participation rate, based on feedback from 130 respondents.

Among the strongest signals:

• 95% of employees say they feel motivated to go beyond what is usually required to help the company succeed

• 90% say the company reacts quickly to changing customer needs

• 88% say they understand how their work contributes to company goals

Those numbers say a lot. But the more important part is what they represent in practice.

For us, this isn’t just data on a slide

For us at Resolute, a strong culture has to be visible in everyday work. In how people collaborate. In how feedback is shared. In whether teams have the autonomy to move. In whether contribution gets noticed.

That is why we actively invest in initiatives like our weekly HeartCount “company pulse” survey, which gives Resoluters a regular space to share feedback and recognize each other’s efforts.

Because annual feedback is not timely. Great teams improve every week. Growth doesn’t happen once a year.

Small things like that matter more than they seem. They help keep communication honest, appreciation visible, and the team connected to what people are actually experiencing.

This kind of environment does not stay in the background. It shows up in the products you build, the service you deliver, and the way your team works with clients and with each other.

That’s also why this moment matters more than it seems

What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it comes at a time of active change and evolution across Ocean. It is not a reward for standing still. It is a signal that even while growing and transforming, it is possible to keep people engaged, motivated, and aligned.

That is the kind of culture we believe in at Resolute.

Not separate from performance, but part of what makes performance possible in the first place.

Being part of Ocean Investments and being recognized as Mercer #1 Employer in Bulgaria for 2025 is something we are proud of. More importantly, it is a reminder to keep building the kind of environment that earns trust from the inside out.
