Retaining a Maid is easy - Respect her

How can I retain my maid ? This is a question that worries every homeowner because to hire and train a maid is a time consuming task. We will give you one simple tip about how to retain your domestic worker - It is to treat your helper with respect.

Why is respect important?

Respect is a necessity in any workplace. Employers ensure that they provide a positive workplace for their employees. But one can see a huge difference as we look at blue collar and domestic workers. Often they are not given the respect towards their work as they should be given. Helper4U has been working in providing unorganized workers - blue collar workers, house-helpers, cooks, drivers, delivery staff to households and offices since 2015. One of the main visions of Helper4U is to provide these Helpers with respectable jobs with employers who value them and treat them with dignity and respect. 

Case Study to Show How Respect Can Retain an Employee

We have a case of a lady who has been working for a family for the past two years and still wishes to continue working for them. As we were curious to know the reason behind it, our team decided to interview her and ask her what made her like her job and employer.

The lady, Miss Pravina Dilip Ambatkar, 41 in Worli, Mumbai, has been working as a caregiver for one of our clients' mothers. The client had contacted us in the year 2019. At that time through our Assisted hiring package they hired Miss Pravina. On talking to Miss Pravina and asking about her experience of working with the family she told us this: "It feels really nice, It doesn't feel like I am working at someone else's house". She added to this "The entire environment of the house is very respectful and I really like working here. It is mostly the client’s mother and me but her kids also visit us and provide me with the same respect and homely atmosphere."

We asked, "What would you like to tell other employers on how they should treat their helpers?" She replied "When you treat one with respect, they would perform their work nicely and they obviously wouldn't want to leave you." She also mentioned, "Even if the payment is slightly less but you receive respect, you would want to work for them".

In a simple interview Miss Pravina has taught us how all that one requires in any type of work is dignity.  You can check out the interview of the employerhere .
