Worldwide businesses adapted to the remote work model in 2020 as a temporary solution without realising that this was going to change the working culture in the world.
Even though all the sectors had a rocky start, the remote work soon became a star tool in worldwide workplaces. A report by EY shows that 80% of companies said employees’ productivity was somewhat similar or much higher during the remote working period. To illustrate about Philippines specifically, a survey by Robert Walters on remote working in Philippines found out that 8 in 9 professionals in Philippines have increased job satisfaction when working remotely.

According to a 2023 report by the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) , the revenue of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry increased 10.3% to $32.5 billion, and staff count rose 8.4% to 1.57 million despite the global recession. They provide support services to companies including Amazon and Zoom.
