We invite you to a discussion on the Nordic model of work-life balance and its comparison to the Filipino context.
Our esteemed speaker, Dr. Veronica Esposo Ramirez, an Associate Professor at the University of Asia and the Pacific, will share her insights on this topic. Dr. Ramirez is a renowned expert in migration studies, with a particular focus on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). Her recent research on Filipino workers in Nordic countries provides a unique perspective on how the Nordic model can be applied to diverse cultural contexts.
In this discussion, we will explore the following:
- The Nordic Model: A detailed overview of the key principles and practices of the Nordic model, including flexible work arrangements, parental leave, and a strong emphasis on work-life balance.
- Filipinos in Nordic Countries: An examination of how Filipinos have adapted to the Nordic model, including potential challenges and opportunities.
- The Filipino Model: A discussion of the traditional Filipino approach to work-life balance, including cultural factors and societal expectations.
- Strengths and Weaknesses: A comparative analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of both models, identifying areas for improvement and potential synergies.
- Recommendations: Practical recommendations on how to improve work-life balance in both the Nordic and Filipino contexts, with a focus on employee productivity, well-being, and organizational performance.
Following the presentation, we will open the floor for discussion and questions.
