Being
able to work from home has become a necessity for a lot of Filipinos.
It allows them to spend more time with their family, save money on
food and clothes, and escape the mind-numbing traffic. Meanwhile,
more companies are hiring remote workers to get the best possible
candidates for a role while also saving on space and money.
JobStreet.com,
the no. 1 job site in the Philippines, responds to this growing need
by offering job seekers a dedicated page for work-from-home
opportunities, making the job search easy and more efficient. The
page recently went live on the last week of October.
“With
this new feature, we hope to make the search hassle-free for both the
candidate and the employer,” said Philip Gioca, Country Manager,
Jobstreet.com Philippines.
Some
of the companies that advertise home-based jobs on the site include
RemoteStaff, SPN, Teleperformance, 51Talk, and goFLUENT.
Is
a work-from-home job for you?
The
benefits of remote working are can sometimes far outweigh
office-based jobs. According to a study by PGi, a leading provider of
collaboration software and services, improved productivity isn’t
the only benefit of working from home: 82% reported lower stress
levels, 80% experienced higher morale, and 69% reported lower
absenteeism.
However,
Gioca cautions that not everyone is cut out for a home-based job.
“Although most of us would want to work at home, there are still
some points to consider before taking the final leap, such as your
ability to hold yourself accountable to finish your work on time and
your general temperament,” he said.
To
determine if a home-based job is the right fit, JobStreet.com lists
seven things to consider:
- Can your job be done easily from home?
- Do you have a dedicated workspace at home to work from?
- Do you prefer a flexible working environment or a fixed structure?
- Do you work better alone or with your team members?
- Does your job require a high degree of face-to-face collaboration?
- Are you self-organized and comfortable working independently?
- What is your key motivation to work from home?
If
it turns out that a home-based job is not for you, there is still
hope. “There are a lot of companies that offer telecommuting or
working away from the office as a work option, and a number of them
advertise on Jobstreet.com,” Gioca said.

Filipinos are less happy in the workplace – JobStreet.com Correspondents said salary increase, getting a new job will make them happier in 6 months
MANILA, October 25, 2017 – The Philippines’ job satisfaction level dropped from 5.25 in 2016 to its current rating of 4.97 on a 10-point scale. According to JobStreet.com’s 2017 Job Happiness Index, the key factors associated with unhappiness at work are lack of career development and training opportunities, as well as the management style of a company’s leadership team.
JobStreet.com surveyed 9,326 Philippine respondents from July 31 to August 31, 2017. The respondents were from different position levels (predominantly junior executives and supervisors) and represented a diverse mix of specializations. Fiftysix percent of respondents came from the National Capital Region, 12% from Southern Tagalog, 7% from overseas, 6% from Central Luzon, and 5% from Cebu City/Province.
“More and more Filipinos are looking for career development. They want to move forward in their chosen fields, but the lack of career development and training opportunities in their current companies seem to hold them back,” jobStreet.com Country Manager Philip Gioca said.
When respondents were asked what will make them happier in the next six months, 33% said a salary increase would help, but 23% wish to resign and get a new job.
Colleagues and work location make Filipinos happy at work
The respondents who said they were happy cited colleagues, work location, and company reputation as the top three drivers of workplace satisfaction. This is largely true across all demographics.
Baby Boomers are the happiest
According to the study, in terms of generations, baby boomers, or those born before 1960, are the happiest at 5.63, followed by the those belonging to Generation Z at 5.10.
The same can be said in terms of position level, where the top executives or the more established segment of the workforce, which are expectedly populated by the baby boomers, as well as the Fresh Graduates, have the highest happiness score.
Generation Xers barely managed to score above neutral at 5, while millennials, who compose the majority of workplaces, are below neutral with an average of 4.9.
“The results of this study serve as a wake-up call for companies who wonder why there is such a high turnover rate. Career development, training opportunities, and the management style of the company’s leadership team are just some of the reasons why many Filipinos are unhappy in the workplace. It would be best if managers can get to the heart of why this is happening as each company’s DNA is unique,” Gioca added.
The 2017 Job Happiness Index was conducted in Southeast Asia, with a sample size of 35,513. Job satisfaction is highest in Indonesia (5.27), followed by Vietnam (5.19), the Philippines (4.97), Malaysia (4.65), Thailand (4.55), Hong Kong (4.45), and Singapore (4.31).
