Recognising work tenure in the Philippines Culture

Did you know that it’s important to your Filipino staff to have their tenure recognised by their boss? Onshore your staff probably don’t care about this, unless it’s a major milestone like 5 or 10 years. Not many onshore staff care about the recognition and they certainly don’t expect a gift.

In the Philippines, it is expected that a good manager will take a moment to publicly recognise individual tenure at milestones like at the end of year 1,2,3 etc.

Tenure gifts are not necessarily expected, but they do enahnce company loyalty and the feeling that their employer appreciates them.

How do Technology Elite clients handle this cultural difference and remember to show culturally-sensitive milestone appreciation? We handle it for them.

Because we know our client bosses are always busy, and they come from a different culture, we simply handle these tenure milestone actions for them without being asked.

We provide the employee with recognition and a gift, and the gift escalates in value with each tenure milestone. (As of time of publishing, the 10 year anniversary gift is a vacation trip to 2 to a tropical paradise.)

This is yet another element of the comprehensive solution that we deliver to all our clients, and an example of our attention to detail in the many ways we support the offshore success of our client. Like everything else, these gifts are all paid for as part of our flat monthly fee per employee.

You don’t just get some free gifts for your staff; you get the tracking of the milestones, and you get the automatic execution of it by our People & Culture team.
