Remote Work & Motherhood
By Eloiza Mariano Serate
The shift to remote work has opened doors to new opportunities, increased flexibility, and greater work-life balance. However, for working mothers, it has also amplified the struggles of balancing career and family.
As a business owner and a mother of four, I know firsthand the challenges of juggling work and motherhood. I also recognize the immense value working mothers bring to an organization—they are resilient, resourceful, and incredibly driven.
At Virtual Champions PH (VCPH), we are committed to creating an equitable work environment where women don’t have to choose between their careers and their families. Instead, we design our work culture and policies to empower mothers—and every team member—to thrive in both roles.
Building an Equitable Remote Work Environment
We may be a growing organization, but we are intentional about shaping a culture of inclusion and equity from day one. Here’s how we make it work:
1. Flexible Schedules That Prioritize Work-Life Balance
Workplace culture is everything. In fact, having a supportive manager is one of the top three reasons women choose to stay in an organization (Source: Forbes).
At Virtual Champions PH, we go beyond traditional HR policies. Our culture is built on:
● Mentorship & Networking: We provide opportunities for growth and leadership.
● Empathy & Understanding: As a mother-led business, we know that life happens. We listen and support our team members in both personal and professional challenges.
● Leadership by Example: I personally invest time in my team, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and heard.
As we scale, I trust that our leaders will uphold these values—ensuring that our workplace remains compassionate, empowering, and people-first.
Takeaway: A supportive company culture isn’t just a perk—it’s a necessity for building a happy, high-performing team.

3. Leveraging Technology to Empower Working Mothers
Remote work is only possible because of technology—but the right tools can also make work more manageable and stress-free for working mothers.
At VCPH, we utilize smart technology to streamline communication, collaboration, and efficiency:
● ClickUp – For project management and task tracking
● Asynchronous Communication – To accommodate different schedules
● Instant Collaboration Tools – Slack, Google Workspace, and more
These tools remove the friction of remote work and ensure that mothers can stay organized, productive, and connected—without sacrificing time with their families.
Takeaway: The right tech stack makes remote work seamless and empowering—not overwhelming.
