In a labor-intense industry like the cleaning business, record low unemployment rates tend to stifle growth. There is no new technology on the horizon that can replace a trained maid scrubbing your kitchen floor on her hands and knees. It’s also not easy work. So, what can be done to attract and retain quality labor in an extremely tight labor market? Maid to Perfection , the nations leading comprehensive cleaning franchise system, has incorporated a new plan to provide paid health insurance for it’s maids, technicians and their dependents nationwide. Corporate CEO, Michael Katzenberger explains, "Even with my extensive background in finance, it took a full year of research to develop a plan that could pull the cream of the available labor crop without costing our franchise team partners out of pocket. We’ve received enthusiastic nods from our existing employees and our advertising for hire is drawing a better quality and quantity of applicant, resulting in increased sales for our franchisees". Demand for service nationwide is still growing steadily and rates continue to rise with the swelling demand. Ben Cohen, Franchise Director adds, "Today the demand for quality service exceeds supply, and the little black market independent maids come and go like the wind, as homeowners increasingly expect dependability, protections and consistency in the maintenance of their most valued possession. Now, those black market independent maids would probably be better off working for Maid to Perfection , and providing health coverage for their families."
