Treat all people who work with you as human beings - show an interest to help with their problems and you'll get better help with your problems
If you employ someone to help clean your house - as I do. Then you have a responsibility to be a good employer and treat them as well as any other human being that works with you.
The two things which come to mind are:
Treat them with empathy.
Never assume that they understand your needs like you do. Be prepared to conceptually build them up especially explaining the needs of your household.
Show an interest and try to be helpful with their problems.
Try and focus on talking through your needs and emotions and give space for them to offer their best knowledge to meet your needs without a deep sense of obligation.
Always assume that they know a heap of things you don’t
Recognize if you ask the right questions then you’ll get better information out of them
