Australian tech company, Fingerprint for Success (F4S), has released a study identifying key traits that distinguish the working culture in the Philippines.
These are having a theoretical approach and understanding the rationale behind tasks, making decisions based on what can be seen and observed, focusing on what is present and practically relevant, evolution, i.e., improvement over time, and consistently checking for accuracy and continuous performance.
The study, launched in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry, highlights the strategic advantages of the Philippines’ workforce, uncovering opportunities for government, industry, education, trade and investment sectors.
The research also helps to leverage the natural talents of the Filipino working population to drive innovation and change, solidifying the Philippines as one of the top 25 emerging Asian ecosystems.
During a recent event launching the F4S findings, Alma Argayoso, Philippine trade representative to Australia, said a premise in doing business or promoting business relations between two countries is a basic understanding of each other’s cultures.
“For existing and potential entrepreneurs and investors, this culture map might provide you with a powerful tool to leverage, strategize and better understand new opportunities for the Filipino workforce,” Argayoso said. – Irma Isip
