In an effort to bridge the gap between employers and domestic helpers, a one-stop center will soon streamline services related to domestic workers and help keep a database of their information in the country.
The project dubbed as “Tadbeer Centers”, will offer all services required to employers interested in hiring domestic helpers, said Saqr Ghobash, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, reported the Khaleej Times.
Services provided by Tadbeer Centers will include conducting pre-arrival interviews with domestic workers, resolving disputes and checking on worker housing and accommodation. The center will also provide relevant help depending on the requirements of the employer in addition to services such as visa issuance, Emirates ID, medical documents and dropping the domestic helper to the customer.
Operating under the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MoHRE), the first set of Tadbeer Centers owned by Emiratis will be opened in the fourth quarter of the year.
“[The Ministry] will grant licence to operators according to their capacity to meet high standards and ensure their customers’ ongoing happiness, matching the UAE’s outstanding government service program,” Ghobash said.
This is also good news for Filipino domestic helpers as it simplifies the process of getting them legitimate work post in the country – banishing worries and doubts of being untreated unfairly both during the process and employment.
