ENGTHENING OUR SOCIAL FABRIC
Companies in Singapore is undoubtedly do more to help MDWs. To create a more inclusive environment that flattens the order of order and promotes mutual respect, building trust, exercising patience, and utilizing technology are essential.
We use resources like Google Translate and visual pictures and cues to help us understand the language barrier when we communicate with Ms. M. from Myanmar.
Furthermore, we suggest that Ms. S enroll in preference classes to become fluent in her native tongues and dialects. In the same way, we can make an effort to comprehend and understand the various civilizations of the MDWs we employ.
People recall far more than what they were given for the companies they rendered in terms of treatment. Thus, we can offer opportunities beyond increased salary  , for as little outside trips or a nice dinner out for dedicated MDWs, where possible.
Most employers want to foster long-term associations with the appropriate MDW, which reduces the strain of constantly looking for new ones and fosters a steady, respectful working atmosphere.
In the end, increasing the assistance for MDWs may represent our shared commitment to a more sympathetic and equitable society. We can make sure that the caregiving ecology continues to be adaptable and flexible by valuing their contributions and responding to their needs with compassion and vision.
