Eden Grace, a prominent maid agency in Singapore, has announced its annual Heart of the Home Awards, set to take place in December. This event aims to honour the significant contributions of domestic helpers and their employers, highlighting the strong partnerships that contribute to happier homes across the city-state.
The awards ceremony will feature several categories, including Helper of the Year and Employer of the Year, recognising individuals who demonstrate exceptional commitment, empathy, and professionalism. Additionally, Character Trait Awards will celebrate core values such as kindness, patience, and integrity, with nominees put forward by employers wishing to acknowledge the unique strengths of their helpers.
What distinguishes these awards is their non-competitive nature; all nominees are considered finalists, provided their nomination includes a thoughtful justification. This approach, according to Eden Grace, aims to foster appreciation and build confidence rather than compare achievements.
The judging panel, comprising representatives from Eden Grace, will evaluate nominees based on criteria such as communication skills, initiative, work ethic, adaptability, and their impact on household harmony. The agency’s spokesperson emphasised, “This annual award ceremony is our way of saying thank you. It’s about celebrating the heart behind the work on both sides.”
Looking ahead, Eden Grace plans to expand the award categories to reflect the evolving roles within the domestic employment community. The agency continues to support both helpers and employers through training and education, reinforcing its commitment to building meaningful connections and improving domestic work conditions in Singapore.
