When Remote Workmate started back on March 5 2015, we never imagined that this company of then only two employees would grow into what it is today: 14 employees, around 70 clients, and more than a 100 Workmates.
Our CEO Chris Whitrod had a vision of connecting world class remote Filipino workers with global clients and that vision has been a reality for seven years. Our ability to continue to provide our services is possible because of our incredible team and our hardworking Workmates. In fact, we are so proud to acknowledge that the first ever Workmate we hired is still working with us to this day!
When Covid-19 was rampant in 2020 and lockdowns were happening all over, we were able to continue our operations through Zoom meetings, coffee, and hard work. Our drive to provide work for our Workmates and make sure the businesses of our clients could still continue during a difficult time was what kept us going and we’ve emerged through the worst of it grateful to still be here, doing what we do.
We also realized more than ever the importance of acknowledging good work and how this can be motivating and we constantly instill this in ourselves and in our Workmates. We launched the Thank You Workmate initiative which highlights a Workmate for the month whose performance and skills impressed our clients. It aimed to inspire other Workmates and since then, we have celebrated 20 Workmates and will continue to recognize more.
But we’re not just about hard work. We like to kick it back and enjoy the simple but pleasurable things in life. Our CSMs helped us to practice mindfulness and have good old-fashioned fun with wacky photos, mouth-watering food shots, karaoke competitions, and silly games. These things refresh us from the routine of work and remind us that we are truly a family.
This 2022 we only strive to aim higher and be better as we provide more services for our clients and make sure our Workmates stay motivated and happy. We also hope the whole team will be able to see each other in the flesh again soon!
Happy 7th Anniversary to Remote Workmate!
