Over a third of the global workforce are said to be thinking of leaving their jobs which does not include Filipinos and based on the latest figures from the Philippine Statistics Authority, Filipinos who are employed are looking for more hours of work to make ends meet.
“Right now, we’re living in a day and age where there is a lack of separation between work and non-work…. People talk about how great it is to work from home…but what people don’t talk about is there is drastically less sense of belonging and ownership. If you don’t build that sense of camaraderie at the beginning and continue that, and foster that, you’re gonna have higher attrition rates,” Rodriguez said.
