Omega Healthcare, a leading provider of revenue cycle management (RCM) solutions, once again celebrated the excellence of its Manila and Cebu teams during the highly anticipated Omega Global Awards (OGA) 2025, held at the Marco Polo Ortigas, Pasig. Now in its fourth consecutive year in the Philippines, the prestigious event continues to highlight the company’s deep appreciation for Filipino talent and commitment to employee recognition.
The Omega Global Awards is Omega Healthcare’s most prestigious annual recognition event, held across three key locations: the United States, India, and the Philippines. Now in its fourth year, the celebration highlights the organization’s commitment to acknowledging excellence and empowering its people. The awards honor top-performing individuals and teams whose work reflects the company’s values and strategic goals, recognizing outstanding contributions across functions and regions.
This year’s celebration featured a Philippine Heritage theme, with employees and leaders proudly wearing traditional Filipiniana and Barong attire, adding a touch of cultural significance to the occasion. The event brought together 250 attendees from the Manila and Cebu delivery centers.
The awards night was attended by key leaders from Omega Healthcare’s global and Philippine operations, including Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anurag Mehta and Senior Vice President and Head of Resource Management Narayanan V. Joining them were Omega Healthcare Philippines Country Manager Santosh Kesari, along with senior leaders from operations, talent management, finance, quality, human resources, and other critical business units.
“Our employees are the heart and soul of Omega Healthcare. They are the driving force behind the value we deliver to our clients, and empowering and recognizing them remains a top priority for us,” said Santosh Kesari, Country Manager of Omega Healthcare Philippines. “We are committed to fostering a culture where recognition is part of everyday work—one that inspires teams to perform at their best.”
Recognizing the best of the best

“We have always believed in the strength and potential of the Filipino workforce. The passion, resilience, and excellence demonstrated by our teams in Manila and Cebu continue to elevate our global standards. We take great pride in their dedication and professionalism, which play a vital role in our continued delivery of world-class healthcare services. Celebrating their achievements reinforces our commitment to building a workplace where Filipino talent can thrive, lead, and drive meaningful impact,” added Santosh.
Santosh also underscored Omega Healthcare’s strong commitment to developing Filipino talent. As the company continues to grow its presence in the Philippines, it remains focused on expanding career opportunities for local professionals, particularly Philippine Registered Nurses (PHRNs) with relevant specialty experience and a background in business process outsourcing.
At Omega Healthcare, people are considered the company’s greatest asset. Supporting talent development and recognizing employee achievements remain key priorities that drive both individual and organizational growth. The Omega Global Awards is one of the many initiatives that reflect this commitment, serving as an inclusive platform that celebrates excellence across all levels.
