Why Good Relationships Still Win Over Salary

Why Good Relationships Still Win Over Salary

(And What Studies Say About It)

In the world of work—especially in home service—the conversation often starts with salary.

“How much?” becomes the first question, and sometimes, the only one.

But here’s the truth that both studies and stories agree on:

Money might start the job, but relationships make people stay.

According to research from Harvard Business Review, employees who feel respected and emotionally supported at work are more than twice as likely to stay, even when offered higher pay elsewhere.

In caregiving and domestic work, this truth runs even deeper—because their “workplace” isn’t an office. It’s your home.

At MaidProvider.ph, we’ve seen this for sixteen years.

We’ve met household professionals who left higher-paying jobs because they felt unseen.

And we’ve met families whose kindness created loyalty stronger than any contract.

Good relationships build trust. Trust builds longevity.

And longevity—not turnover—is what truly sustains both homes and hearts.

A family that values communication, empathy, and fairness will always attract good people—not because of what they pay, but because of how they care.

Because in this kind of work,

the real currency is respect.

A Note for Employers

If you want loyalty, build connection.

Listen. Appreciate. Be human.

Even the best salary loses its shine when the heart feels small.

At MaidProvider.ph, we continue to match not just qualifications, but compatibility.

Because lasting placements aren’t built on paychecks.

They’re built on people.
