Kuwait - Maid cleavers sponsor

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

At a time when companies are still finding their legs after the recession, Strategic Franchising Systems is running full speed ahead. Founded in 1997, the company recently surpassed 1,000 franchise units, consisting of six brands: Caring Transitions, Fresh Coat Painters, Home Helpers, Direct Link, The Growth Coach and TruBlue Total House Care.

Strategic Franchising Systems is strong as a company because of the strength of our individual brands. By working together, weve been able to combine our resources to better serve all of our owners, which has helped us grow, said Emma Dickinson, president of Home Helpers & Direct Link the two largest brands in the system.

But working together goes beyond shared resources; it also means having a powerful executive team to work with every day.

Each and every member of the executive team and the staff has their own skills and gifts they bring to the company. Having such a diverse CEO roundtable in the building is extremely unique and beneficial. From a growth standpoint, being able to walk down the hall and discuss ideas or challenges with the other leaders has an amazing impact on the development of our individual businesses and each other, Dickison added.

Home Helpers Strategic Franchising Systems began in 1997 with the founding of Home Helpers, a home care franchise specializing in non-medical, companion and personal care that was ranked the #1 senior care franchise for five consecutive years by Entrepreneur Magazine.

Over the years, Home Helpers has grown and broadened its scope of services. Today, it is one of only five national brands identified with having at least 300 locations, and it is part of a mere 15 percent of national non-medical senior care franchise brands expanding into skilled medical services.

Our mission is to be able to meet all of our clients needs, whether they are looking for a companion or they need full skilled medical services. We want to make sure everyone has the ability to remain independent as long as they possibly can, so well be rolling out services to allow that to happen in more places, said Dickison. Most companies either provide non-skilled care or skilled care. Were one of the few that can offer both in participating locations. This allows those offices participating to provide a broader, more complete continuum of care.

Direct Link In 1999, Direct Link was established as a complement to Home Helpers by offering 24/7 in-home medical emergency monitoring for the booming senior market. Direct Link is a complete, ready-to-operate franchise offering personal emergency response systems, medication dispensers and vital signs monitoring units. Its ever-expanding line of products supplements the care services provided by Home Helpers caregivers.

Caring Transitions Founded in 2006, the Caring Transitions franchise is leading the way in senior moving, household liquidations and estate sales management across the United States. As the only national business to specialize in this particular service, Caring Transitions has a unique role among the nations aging population.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 04, 2014

The CEO of AmericanHouseCleaning.com has implemented a higher standard of training for their maid staff. Maids will now have to go through a more rigorous training program. This change to an already demanding training program came about as a result of AmericanHouseCleaning.com aiming to have the highest quality cleaning service in San Francisco.

AmericanHouseCleaning.com takes pride in training their employees. They believe that hands-on training is the best way to prepare employees for any upcoming cleaning tasks. A new trend in the house cleaning industry is employee training via video. Several cleaning companies will only show a video to train their maid staff before allowing them to go out and clean the homes of their clients.

AmericanHouseCleaning.com believes that this is not as effective as training in person, one on one. According to the CEO, a more experienced employee personally trains each new staff member on topics like customer service, cleaning methods, cleaning itinerary per home, and how to use ecofriendly cleaning products. AmericanHouseCleaning.com uses only ecofriendly cleaning products to give their clients a healthier environment at home.

Hands on training gives staff members the skills to tackle any problems they may come across when cleaning a household. It also ensures that every client of AmericanHouseCleaning.com receives the same quality of services. The CEO explains, Were proud to deliver consistent superior results to individuals and businesses, real estate agents, property managers and office complexes.

This new client process separates AmericanHouseCleaning.com from other cleaning services in San Francisco who train employees with a video training program without the one on one training. The CEO says, We familiarize ourselves with your cleaning routine and preferences, paying special attention to your challenging areas and concentrating our time in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Whether you are in Burlingame, Palo Alto, Los Altos, San Francisco, Menlo Park, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Clara or surrounding communities our team will make your home perfectly clean.

Visit AmericanHouseCleanings website for more information on their training process as well as information on their maid services.

Kuwait - Maid commits suicide

by Lim How Pim, reporters@theborneopost.com. Posted on March 2, 2014, Sunday

KUCHING: The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development wants all maid-recruiting agencies to do background checks and impose a probation on domestic helpers.

This is to enhance the safety and welfare of children, said Minister Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim who cited the recent case in Kuala Lumpur where two children were believed killed by their maid before her suicide, which serves as a wake-up call for all parents to be wary of domestic helpers, as well as the child care centre they were sending their children to.

Like in the employment market in which a three-month probation is practised, the same should be introduced and practised by maid-recruiting agencies in Malaysia. By so doing, we can at least get to observe the character and behaviour of the maid.

Maid-recruiting agencies should also check the background of foreign maids. This is so important to ensure the safety of our children, she told reporters after the swearing-in of Head of State Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud at the State Legislative Assembly Complex in Petra Jaya here yesterday.

After the KL incident, Rohani said the ministry had offered counselling for the traumatised parents so that they could stay emotionally stable to facilitate police investigation.

We are very sad about the incident and we have offered counselling for the parents who are still in trauma. The sooner they receive counselling the better it is for them to face what comes their way especially when asked to assist in police investigation.

But it seems that they are not ready for the counselling, but we are ready to reach out.

Rohani also called on all employers of domestic helpers to pay due attention to the mental health of recruited individuals.

She believed a person who had either violent or suicidal tendencies would portray unusual behaviour or acts, which ought to be detected to prevent untoward incidents.
