Boost Juice founder Janine Allis makes the startling claim that expatriates and local Australians make better workers

The founder of Boost Juice claims expatriate and local Australians work harder than many from the city.

Multimillionaire Janine Allis, 58, told the hosts of the Color Plane podcast that her experience as an employer meant she saw some work harder than others.

Ms Allis noted in her lengthy 58-minute interview that “foreigners work harder”.

Boost Juice takes this into account when interviewing potential hires, with Ms Allis saying the best employees she’s ever had all share the same core competencies.

In her time as an entrepreneur, she has learned that people who are “tough” and “determined” often have the greatest chance of success.

Janine Allis is one of Australia’s most successful businesswomen, having launched Boost Juice 23 years ago

Presenters Jesse Toniolo and Jack Macdonald quizzed the businesswoman on her perspective, which she admitted had “generalized.”

“If someone comes to you and is from a regional city or from overseas, they will most likely work harder than a local,” Ms Allis said.

She claimed that people from the Australia and overseas region “had it tougher” and were less likely to be “beaten down” in a competitive environment.

“Business is tough,” she said.

“You need people with the tenacity to keep going.”

In the interview, she didn’t scoff at mocking those who take a more casual approach and need “a little more balance in life,” but still had a message for her.

“There’s nothing wrong with that trail, but don’t go into business,” she said.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Ms Allis offered advice for young Australians who are under pressure to graduate.

“I really believe in Australia that it’s not like America where there’s nothing negative about not having a degree,” she said.

“The university has its place depending on what you want to become. I think if you want to study law, this is the path you should take.”
