Do Good Work. Work to Do Good.

A Partnership That Changed How I Work

In a recent role, I seized an opportunity to partner closely with AutonomyWorks, a company that employs adults with autism for digital marketing and quality assurance roles. When I started, we were working with AW as a simple BPO option, a place for our staff to offload tasks. The team at AutonomyWorks showed me how much more they had to offer.

We expanded our partnership because their team consistently delivered excellent results. But it wasn't just about performance—it was about purpose. Every new project we sent their way created more opportunities for meaningful employment. And with every new project, their enthusiasm and passion increased.

Doing the Right Thing Costs More—and That’s OK

As with any profit-driven business, I faced decisions that came with trade-offs.

• Cheaper vendors? Easy to find.
• Faster turnarounds? Maybe.
• Time saved training and onboarding? Sometimes tempting.

But I made a different choice: trust. AutonomyWorks had shown me time and again that they could crush the tasks my team gave them. They were hungry. They were ready.

Work Can Be a Force for Good

The team at AutonomyWorks reminded me what balance really looks like.

In a world obsessed with automation and efficiency, they brought care, focus, and pride to every task—often outperforming larger teams with fewer resources.

They made the work better, not just faster.

They brought joy into projects that might otherwise feel routine.

And they proved that meaningful employment creates value far beyond the bottom line.

No vendor, no tool, no shortcut has ever left me feeling prouder than the work we did together. Our partnership stands out—not because it was the most efficient, but because it was the most human.

Bottom line:

Do good work.

Work to do good.

Build trust.

Lift others.

That’s the kind of career I’m building—and I hope it leads me to teams like yours.
