There is such an incredible opportunity to unlock Filipino talent into your business. Filipino culture is centred around loyalty, honesty and respect. However, when managing Filipinos, it is crucial to be aware of cultural nuances that can significantly impact professional relationships and communication. Here are some key cultural considerations:
Create a Family: Treat the staff like family and you will be rewarded with honesty and loyalty.
Create a strong sense of community: Filipinos have a collective and family-oriented mindset. Building a sense of camaraderie and teamwork is crucial. Team-building activities and fostering a supportive work environment are effective strategies.
Transparency and Honesty: Be transparent. Don’t hide what is real. Filipinos would much prefer to hear how it is. If you are not honest, you will lose their trust.
Politeness and Courtesy: Filipinos place a high value on politeness and courtesy. Maintaining a polite and respectful tone in communication is vital. Criticism is often delivered indirectly to avoid causing embarrassment.
Face-Saving: Filipinos avoid confrontation and strive to save face for themselves and others. Criticism is best delivered constructively and privately to avoid embarrassment.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Filipinos are known for their adaptability and resilience. Being open to changes and demonstrating flexibility in work arrangements can be appreciated.
Communication Style: Filipinos generally use indirect communication styles. Reading between the lines and paying attention to non-verbal cues is essential. Encouraging open communication and seeking feedback can help bridge any communication gaps.
Work-Life Balance: While Filipinos are hardworking, they also prioritize a healthy work-life balance. Understanding and respecting this balance contributes to a positive work environment.
Celebration of Festivals and Holidays: Celebrate means CELEBRATE! Filipinos celebrate various festivals and holidays to the next level. Being aware of these events and showing understanding during such times fosters a positive and inclusive atmosphere.
Remember that cultural awareness is an ongoing process, and the key is to approach interactions with an open mind, sensitivity, and a genuine interest in understanding and appreciating Filipino culture.
