Philippines

The Philippines official languages are Tagalog and English, making the country a popular destination for companies that outsource their customer service. However, while many Filipino workers are highly technically trained, actual English speaking ability can vary. Those with fluent English tend to be in great demand, and demand high compensation packages in return. Western HR managers setting up offices in the Philippines need to know the most effective HR and executive search practices in the Philippines in order to attract potential employees. Our publications on the Philippines will help HR managers understand the Philippines’ HR and recruiting issues.
