I’ve heard it for years: “Isn’t outsourcing just taking advantage of people?” 

If your goal is to squeeze the lowest rate out of someone, yeah—maybe that’s questionable. 

But if you care about the people you hire, outsourcing to the Philippines can be one of the most ethical, life-changing decisions you ever make—for them and for you.

When I first started hiring full-time Filipino VAs back in 2005, people would ask me all the time: “How do you sleep at night?” 

What they didn’t realize was this—hiring someone in the Philippines can actually give them a better job than they could get locally. Better pay, better hours, better stability, and more time with their family.

Here’s how to make it happen 

💵 Pay wages that are fair and competitive in the Philippines’ market

🛠 Offer stable, long-term work so your VA can plan and save

📈 Create growth opportunities—skills, raises, promotions

🙂 Treat them like a human, not a task machine

🏝 Respect work-life balance (no “24/7 availability” nonsense)

📅 Honor local holidays and the 13th-month pay tradition

🤝 Provide benefits that improve their life and loyalty

When you hire this way, you’re not just getting work done—you’re giving someone the ability to build a better future. 

And in return, you get a loyal, motivated team member who sticks with you for years. That’s good ethics and good business.
