According to a survey back in October 2024, 85% of Filipinos are either happy or neutral<\/a> about their jobs. That\u2019s why happiness is one of the important measures of a productive and healthy workplace. To support this, employers often implement policies that promote fairness and equal opportunities for all employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to promotions, however, evaluating candidates can be a significant challenge. Aspiring employees may feel optimistic about their chances, especially when they have consistently put in hard work and dedication. Yet, when they are not selected, some may still believe they deserved the promotion which leads them to frustration or disengagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
