Establishing a Team in the Philippines Quickly & Effectively
After starting operations in Australia with a small team, DesginCrowd began to explore the possibility of building a team in the Philippines. Having engaged a few Filipino contractors to help with customer support and similar roles, they realized the great value of the Filipino workforce: hard-working, friendly, great communicators, and a positive attitude. DesignCrowd was determined to expand the team in the Philippines but wanted to do so in a scalable and efficient way. They needed to find a solution that would cater to their different needs such as HR administration, payroll processing, compliance with government-mandated benefits, and a great work space.
DesignCrowd started looking for a dependable partner with a thorough understanding of local labor laws and compliance which will reduce legal risk while providing efficient payroll processing, creating a nurturing workplace environment where talents can thrive. They found all these with Penbrothers.
