More Filipinos prefer flexible, remote work — GPTW
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The desire for flexible and remote work is evident across various industries, according to workplace consultancy Great Place to Work (GPTW).
Speaking to BusinessWorld, GPTW Managing Partner and Principal Consultant Antoniette Mendoza-Talosig said the sentiment is clear through employees’ verbatim comments clamoring for more flexibility at work.
“It is now important for employees to have a say in where and when to work,” said Talosig.
GPTW offers certification programs for companies that maintain high employee satisfaction ratings.
The Department of Labor and Employment revised the implementing rules for the Telecommuting Act in September. This increases protections for work-from-home employees.
JobStreet also reported in March that about 46% of Filipino respondents prefer hybrid work, 28% want fully remote work, and 26% prefer to work on-site.
