Together, we are striving for a household help sector that is attractive, workable and affordable. For companies, household helpers, families and the government.
To achieve this, a strong federation is needed. Because only together can we give direction to the sector. Only in this way do we move forward and build the household help sector of the future. And the more voices we represent, the louder we sound and the greater our impact.

Clear agreements are the foundation of good cooperation. If we want to evolve towards a sector 2.0 and build the future, a shared framework is needed.
This code of conduct is first and foremost a framework of trust. It serves as a foundation for collaboration, not as a disciplinary instrument. Naturally, this code guides not only the members, but also the federation itself. Members, too, help to shape this code of conduct.
