Working with the Philippines talent

Time zones, culture, and how it works.

Time-zone fit

The Philippines is roughly 12 hours offset from the US — Filipino professionals routinely work US hours on a night-shift schedule, a long-established norm in the country's BPO industry.

Work culture

Filipino professionals are known for excellent, neutral-accent English, a famously warm and patient service style, and deep familiarity with US customer expectations.
