Driven by its dedication to empower small and medium enterprises (SMEs), leading online job portal JobStreet recently kicked off its Southeast Asia-wide virtual workshop series entitled “A Stronger Workforce During the Pandemic: The Resilience of SMEs.”
The initiative aims to guide SME hirers in upgrading their workforce to improve talent attraction and retention amid the quarantine economy.
In the Philippines, the SME sector accounts for 99% of registered businesses and is considered the backbone of the economy. However, nearly two-thirds of SMEs in the country have been strongly affected by the pandemic according to a 2020 survey from the International Trade Centre.
