Satellite Office is a certified Great Place to Work!

Satellite Office has officially been recognised as a Great Place to Work® by Great Place to Work® (GPTW) Philippines. The certification proves our commitment to developing our people to reach their highest potential by fostering a work environment that provides meaningful employee experiences.

Great Place To Work is an international organisation that provides a definitive standard of what it means to be a great workplace. The survey covers questions about the trust our people have in their leaders, the pride they have in their jobs, and the happiness they experience with their colleagues.  

According to the GPTW survey results, 88% of our employees say that Satellite Office is a great place to work compared to 53% of employees at a typical Global Company.

“Our people are our strength at Satellite Office. As a leading offshoring provider, building and developing an ecosystem where all our employees can thrive, be fulfilled, and feel safe is a principal component of our business strategy,” Satellite Office Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Michael McRitchie said in a statement.

Growth Fueled by Passion for Our People

From a team of 7 in 2013 to a distributed presence of over 1,400 client employees in the Philippines today, our team at Satellite Office continues to be a leading outsourcing partner for businesses looking to scale, future-proof, and significantly improve their operations. This growth has been possible because of our passion for our people and commitment to developing our employees to their highest potential.

“We are a people company. By listening to the voice of our employees, we have developed concrete programs and initiatives to uphold our people’s pride in what they do, trust in their leaders, and their relationships with their colleagues, making us a great place to work,” Satellite Office Chief Operating Officer (COO), Jeff Blake explained.

Our dedication to fostering a happy and fulfilling work environment built on trust is the driving force of Satellite Office. For this reason, our employees feel they truly belong, are appreciated for who they are, and are supported in the path of who they want to become.

“Satellite Office is one of the best places to work in the Philippines. They provide us with great compensation packages, such as an above industry salary and amazing benefits, including our loved ones. We have a great company culture where we feel encouraged to grow, and the people here are awesome to work with. Aside from that, we also have a lot of fun activities to keep employees engaged,” one of our employees said in a review from our Jobstreet page.

This esteemed award only reaffirms that our employees can trust that Satellite Office:

• Treats everyone fairly, regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, and age
• Upholds a physically safe workplace
• Promotes and develops a great company culture that supports people
• Has fair leaders whom employees can trust
