ATLANTA— Much has changed in the past year: the current economic environment, innovations in green cleaning and the spread of new infectious diseases. Have these changes affected women’s attitudes toward housework?
That’s the question being asked by Maid Brigade and the purpose of a new joint research venture between the top-ranking green cleaning service and Mom Corps, the pioneer and leader of the flexible employment market. Launching this week, the new survey is designed to compare and contrast recent changes in the attitudes and behaviors of women with past survey results.
Maid Brigade and Mom Corps originally formed an alliance in 2009 to collaboratively help women improve their quality of life. A survey conducted at the time found that one in four women rely on a regular cleaning service or independent housekeeper to save time. Of these women, 98 percent believed having cleaning help provided them with better work/life balance.
The original study findings, as well as survey methodology, are available to the public at www.maidbrigade.com/momcorps.
