The Happiest, Most Secure and Productive
Tech Office In The Philippines

Where We’re Not (And Why)

Most offshoring facilities are in the capital, Manila. With a population of 12 million metro and 21.3 million total, Manila holds the record for the most densely populated city in the world. It has 41,515 people per square kilometre. By comparison, Sydney has a density of 442 people per square kilometre – around one tenth the density.

Now, you may think a high population density would be an advantage when looking for staff (or a job). But in our experience, it leads to a transient, unstable workforce where people change jobs frequently.

It also puts pressure on the city’s infrastructure resulting in traffic congestion, power failures and internet outages. And Manila’s location downstream from areas of mass deforestation, coupled with underdeveloped drainage, make it vulnerable to flooding.

A Better Place To Work (And Live)

Technology Elite is located in Clark, Philippines. Although it’s only two hours from Manila, we encourage staff to relocate to Clark if they’re not already living nearby.

A former U.S. airbase, Clark is a gateway to the Philippines with regular flights each day. Unlike it’s more metropolitan cousins, Clark is laidback and relaxed. But that doesn’t mean it’s boring. On the contrary, there are lots of opportunities to hike, swim, kayak, and picnic. There are many parks, lakes, beaches and mountains to explore. And plenty of restaurants and bars to visit in this food and wine haven.

An Emerging Business and Residential Landmark

The Filipino government has committed record spending to attract business (and staff) to Clark including:

• Railway connecting Clark, Manila and Subic
• Expansion of Clark International Airport
• Growth in retail precincts and residential housing
• Tax exemptions and incentives

Security for Your Staff and Systems

To ensure the absolute safety of our staff and systems, Technology Elite has 24-hour security and biometric scanning at the building entrance which means nobody uninvited is getting in.

Your technology and online access are protected with website filtering / blocking, WatchGuard routing, and security.

And we have strict Covid protocols in place to ensure the health of all staff.

Onboarding, Admin, and Ongoing Training

While other offshore facilities follow the ‘sink or swim’ philosophy, we are committed to finding and keeping the very best staff. That’s why we invest heavily in the onboarding phase – supporting you and your staff as you begin working together. We can also help with some technical and non-technical training, but remember, it’s important for you to show your staff exactly how you like things configured and completed, since every business has different processes and preferences.

Fast, Reliable Internet and Power

Clark has military-grade power infrastructure which is further enhanced by our generator backup system. We provide five links from four providers across three diverse paths, including fibre optic and Starlink (with guaranteed bandwidth, low latency link, and QOS for best voice quality). And live monitoring means you always know what’s happening. Since bandwidth is allocated per team (by VLAN), you can be sure that no other client’s usage will interfere with your own.

Ergonomic Health, Comfort and Productivity

Each spacious desk comes with a fully ergonomic chair for health and comfort. Professional adjustable desk mounting for equipment, for ergonomics and safety. A fast computer with webcam and noise-cancelling headset enables you to hold online meetings with your staff. Standard Computer Spec: Laptop with recent model i5, 16GB RAM, SSD Drive and additional 22’ or 23” monitor. (Additional monitor available for a small fee.) And as your team grows, you can even have your own private office suite.

Relax and Recharge for Optimal Performance

A large lunchroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking lush, green views provides the perfect place for staff to relax and recharge. A fully equipped kitchen is available for their use. And modern bathrooms are kept meticulously clean. These things may seem simple, but they are part of the reason staff say they love working here.

Free Meals and a Place to Belong

Staff receive a delicious and nutritious lunch each day. Monthly activities and regular events help staff build strong friendships and support groups. And a local manager helps them feel secure and valued in their role. This leads to happy, productive teams that work harder and stay longer.
