Understanding Cano Companies & bosses


There are many cultural, personality, and work style differences between Canos and Filipinos. Filipinos should learn as much as possible about Cano expectations and adapt or manage the perceptions that might lead to misunderstandings. (Good Cano bosses will also learn as much as possible and adapt, but not all of them.)

There are several cultural differences between Filipino and US work environments, including:

  • Time management: US work culture values punctuality and adherence to schedules, while Filipino work culture is more flexible and may prioritize relationships over strict adherence to time1.
  • Communication style: US work culture tends to be more direct and assertive, while Filipino work culture values politeness and indirect communication2.
  • Hierarchy and authority: Filipino work culture places a strong emphasis on respect for authority and seniority, while US work culture may be more egalitarian and value individual achievement3.
  • Collectivism vs. individualism: Filipino work culture is more collectivist, emphasizing group harmony and cooperation, while US work culture is more individualistic, emphasizing personal achievement and competition2.
  • Work-life balance: Filipino work culture may prioritize family and personal relationships over work, while US work culture may prioritize work and career advancement over personal relationships4.
  • Decision-making: Filipino work culture may value consensus and group decision-making, while US work culture may value individual decision-making and autonomy5.
