MANILA – Filipino companies need to discard stereotypes and adapt instead to the millennial workforce, to ensure productivity and succession in leadership, a management consultant said Monday.
Local firms can learn from multinational and business process outsourcing companies that allow millennials flexible work schedules and even the option to work from home, said Boris Joaquin, president of Breakthrough Leadership Management Consultancy.
“We need to get a good understanding of where millennials are coming from,” Joaquin told ANC’s Market Edge with Cathy Yang.
“Millennials need to feel that they belong, and when they do, loyalty follows,” he said, adding millennials were on track to comprise 70 percent of the local workforce.
Millennials are “more purposeful” compared to baby boomers and Generation X, who are “more compliant,” Joaquin said.
“There’s a lot of myths going around like millennials are entitled, millennials are impatient… But I think, the truth behind that is millennials to begin with are purpose-driven individuals,” he said.
