The Quezon City government will bring together business leaders in a two-day assembly dubbed “Innovate. Adapt. Thrive: The QC Future of Work Conference.”
Margarita Santos, Business Permit and Licensing Department chief, cited inclusivity, resilience, safety and sustainability as the rising trends for doing business in Asia and beyond.
She said the methodology of work itself, along with the dynamics of the workplace, is actively changing, giving rise to the poser: “in light of these transitions, how should business leaders respond?”
There are over 60,000 business establishments in Quezon City.
The conference will be held Nov. 13 to Nov. 14 at the Crowne Plaza Galleria Manila.
“We feel that this conference comes at a critical juncture for business owners and entrepreneurs, who are now required to navigate digital and automated landscapes,” Santos said.
“With resiliency, inclusivity, and sustainability on the agenda, the Future of Work Conference is firmly aligned with the local administration’s objective of boosting economic activity, while promoting best practices for sustained growth and good corporate governance,” she added.
Participants can expect insightful discussions on leveraging emerging business technologies to create new opportunities, and strategies to facilitate environmental, social and governance workplace policies on par with global trends.
The conference will provide a platform for business leaders to share their outlook on the changes expected to come to the work and the workplace in the next few years.
“Considering the high number of establishments that call QC their home – the most in a city in the entire Philippines – we are hopeful that the Future of Work Conference convinces a significant portion of businesses to equip themselves with future-forward policies, and cascade this mindset to other enterprises,” Santos noted.
Quezon City was recently recognized as the 2023 Most Business-Friendly Local Government Unit by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
