It is possible to care for someone AND maintain professional boundaries and expectations. It is the most respectful way to protect and respect a relationship. Remember, good communication means BOTH parties win and evolve.

In this episode, I share and discuss in detail six suggestions for successful boundaries, performance expectations, and accountability with household staff:

1. Build a house management system to outline, assign, and schedule all expectations.

2. Consult with an HR or family law attorney specializing in household staffing issues.

3. Hire an HR outsourcing company to handle employee benefits like long-term disability, retirement benefits, and health insurance as well as payroll.

4. Communicate with your staff often. I suggest addressing work schedules, new requests, and changed expectations weekly at a minimum.

5. Prepare a staff memorandum of understanding and update it when changes occur.

6. Realize that it may be time to move on when your staff’s abilities no longer meet your personal and property needs.

Remember, healthy boundaries on both sides of this relationship are key.

Keeping a friendly relationship with everyone who works in your home is nice, but keeping healthy boundaries about why they’re there is more critical. Your household and family needs change over time, as do your staff’s needs.

Thanks for listening.
