Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) are integral to many households, contributing significantly to the local economy and social fabric. Best Home Employment Agency, a leader in the sector, recognizes the crucial role these workers play and is committed to their professional development and well-being. 

With a deep understanding of the cultural and work environment differences between Singapore and the MDWs' home countries, Best Home has developed a comprehensive training program tailored to bridge these gaps and ensure successful employment.

Understanding the Unique Challenges Faced by MDWs

MDWs in Singapore often encounter challenges from cultural differences and varying work demands. Best Home acknowledges these challenges and emphasizes addressing them to ensure a smooth worker transition. This understanding forms the foundation of their training program, which aims to equip MDWs with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in Singapore's unique work environment.

Best Home’s Comprehensive Training Program for MDWs

Under the supervision of Mr. Tay, the Director of Best Home, Best Home Employment Agency has established a robust training program for MDWs. This program is led by a team of experts, including a former Ministry of Manpower Director responsible for setting curriculum standards and conducting audits. 

Best Home collaborates closely with trainers in Singapore and the MDWs' home countries, ensuring a well-rounded and practical training experience. The program includes online onboarding courses conducted by the Director, practical tours in Singapore to familiarize MDWs with the local infrastructure, and talks focusing on coping strategies in Singapore. This comprehensive approach ensures that MDWs are well-trained and well-prepared for their roles in Singaporean households.

Critical Components of the Training Program

The Best Home Employment Agency training program is meticulously designed to cover various aspects essential for the professional development of Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) in Singapore. Here are the components:

The aim is to ensure that MDWs are well-equipped to handle the responsibilities of their roles effectively.

2. Online Onboarding Course

The online onboarding course conducted by the Director, Mr. Tay, is a significant training feature. This course, conducted while the helpers are still in their home countries, focuses on introducing them to Singapore's work culture and expectations. It includes interactive sessions covering practical aspects of living and working in Singapore, providing a solid foundation before arrival.

3. Practical Tours

Upon their arrival in Singapore, MDWs are taken on practical tours, including visits to MRT stations, bus routes, and shopping centres. These tours are designed to help them familiarize themselves with Singapore's social infrastructure, making their transition into the city smoother and more comfortable.

Director’s Personal Involvement in Onboarding and Orientation

This session is crucial in preparing the MDWs mentally and emotionally for their new environment and responsibilities.

Through these comprehensive training components and the Director’s involvement, Best Home Employment Agency ensures that their MDWs are equipped with the necessary skills and mentally prepared to adapt to life and work in Singapore.
