'Star-rated' housekeepers debut in city
23/2/2004 16:19
A team of 40 housekeepers with official work certificates and offering
quality services will debut in Shanghai by April this year, the Labor Post
reported today.
Shanghai and its neighboring areas are short of professional
housekeepers, especially those with official work certificates, and local
citizens who want to employ such housekeepers have to book several months in
advance, said an industry analyst.
"Starting early next month, we will
organize the first local professional team of 40 housekeepers to satisfy the
market demand," said a spokesman with the human resources exchange service
center for small enterprises.
They will not only recruit workers with job
certificates and baby-sitting experience, but will also contact local
neighborhood committees to recruit local housekeepers between 40 and 50 years
old to provide them with free training, the spokesman pointed out, adding that
the 40 quality housekeepers will join the work force after one month.
Based
on feedback from customers, the housekeepers will earn different star ratings,
the spokesman added.
