The Philippines is slowly emerging as a good place to put up business. Not only for the locals who wish to invest their money on something worthwhile, but also for foreign investors. BPO's or Business Process Outsourcing companies are currently the leading hope for unemployed Filipinos. Most business districts play host to more than three BPO companies. The companies seem to see numerous reasons why putting money in the country and its people is worthwhile. Here are some of these reasons.
The PeopleFilipinos are hardworking people. They do not leave their desks until all jobs are done. They are also known for their loyalty to the company, accompanied by a sincere desire to contribute positively. Apart from these reasons, Filipinos are known to be easily persuaded. Any form of positive reinforcement and acknowledgement can heat up their drive to work better. However, if treated negatively, Filipinos are greatly discouraged.
The LanguageAnother reason why the Philippines is a good place to put up business is because majority of the people are excellent English speakers. It is ranked as the third largest English speaking country in the world. For companies outsourcing in the country, there is only a need to train the employees for a certain period of time. And as Filipinos are apt in adopting new aspects of culture, they are easy to train and some are ready to work without the need for training.
Cheap LaborA third reason why investing on a business in the Philippines is a good idea, is because many people in the country are jobless. Many jobs can be filled below a target budget. The people are easily enthralled by a promise of a new career and by offers only slightly higher than the minimum wage of each citizen. Salary may never be an issue as long as the working environment and office relationships are at its best.
