The Power of Job Security
When a worker becomes "regular," their behavior changes for the better:
- They Focus on Work: They stop worrying about their contract ending. This lets them focus 100% on their tasks.
- They Are Honest: They feel safe to report risks or mistakes early. This helps you fix problems before they get big.
- They Plan for the Future: They can plan their lives, like paying rent or helping their family. This makes them happy and loyal.
The Risk of Waiting Too Long
Some bosses wait to give staff a permanent role. They think it gives them more control. But waiting actually hurts the team:
- It Causes Stress: Long periods of "not knowing" make good workers nervous.
- It Lowers Quality: If people don't think they will stay, they won't invest in learning new skills.
- It Is Against the Law: In the Philippines, the law usually sees core workers as "regular" anyway. Trying to hide this can lead to big fines.
How to Do It Right
Good companies follow four simple steps to make hiring work:
- Be Clear from the Start: Tell new hires exactly what they need to do to become a regular employee.
- Keep Real Records: Make sure contracts match the actual work being done.
- Do Not Delay: Use the trial period to see if they fit. Do not keep extending it just to avoid a commitment.
- Follow the Rules: If you must let someone go, follow the proper legal steps. This protects you and the worker.
The Bottom Line
Job security is a win for everyone. It gives workers peace of mind and gives your company a team that truly cares. Regularization is the secret to a stable, high-performing business.
