46% of young Filipino workers are looking to shift to remote jobs — Microsoft
About 46% of Filipino Gen Z and Millennials are considering changing jobs this year, according to Microsoft’s 2022 Work Trend Index.
The survey, which covered 1,000 respondents, said that this may be due to evolving views toward the hybrid home and office work setup.
Microsoft stated that “[a]s more people experience the upsides of flexible work, the more heavily it factors into the equation. For Gen Z and Millennials, there’s no going back.”
The report also disclosed that 20% of Filipino workers have already left their jobs in the past year due to personal well-being or mental health, work-life balance, risks of getting COVID-19, lack of confidence in senior leaders, and lack of flexible work hours or location.
As transport becomes a problem in the Philippines, 48% of hybrid employees believe that their leaders need to make the office worth the commute.
Microsoft Corporate VP, Modern Work Jared Spataro said that “there’s no erasing the lived experience and lasting impact of the past two years, as flexibility and wellbeing have become nonnegotiables for employees,”
“By embracing and adapting to these new expectations, organizations can set their people and their business up for long-term success,” he added.
