Bruntwork CEO rides remote work wave

Winston Ong, CEO of leading global outsourcing company BruntWork, is riding the remote work wave even in a post-pandemic society.

With decades of experience in digital marketing, his tasks are commonly consisted of work that he ould finish from any location that has an internet service. As a self-confessed home worker, Ong said that “being accosted by co-workers in an open plan office was a particularly painful experience.”

And the COVID-19 pandemic helped highlight remote working on other businesses.

At the dawn of the new era of work from home, managers and entrepreneurs are waking up to an amazing realization. Jobs that were reserved for office workers can actually be done better from home.

Remote working also gave companies the chance to hire  internationally to find the best candidates for a particular role — increasing the firm’s productivity and profitability.

Further, Ong suggests that the average company can cut 70% out of their labor bill by moving to remote first, and hiring from international labor pools such as the Philippines.

“The world is changing. We are at a turning point where the technology is ready, employers are ready, customers are ready and staff are more than ready to redefine the interaction between life and employment,” Ong stated.

The CEO added that the best way to help people live their perfect life was “to lead a company revolutionizing remote work in the post-pandemic world.”

Despite the pandemic, BruntWork recorded revenue growth in excess of 700%. This proves the effectivity of remote working. In addition, the company would like to grow its staff by five-fold this year and intends to hew to its remote roots, meaning that it won’t be looking for workers in a single geographic region.

The staff it intends to hire for companies will be in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The company will also build out more enterprise-friendly features allowing it to target larger customers.
