What kind of employer are we?

Here’s some information about us so you know what we stand for and how we work.

The Queere Haushaltshilfe (queer household help) is part of Baumgärtel GmbH. The founder, Marius Baumgärtel, had some colourful ideas about creating a company for and of the LGBTQIA+ community – and of course, we welcome everyone, including our hetero friends.

As with all newbies: in the first phase of your work with us, we offer training, onboarding feedback conversations and a chance to get to know your new colleagues and be integrated in our colourful team.

What we expect from you: that you take the time for an open and frank dialogue. That means that you get and also give feedback from and about your customers, your work and colleagues.

A good working atmosphere works when all take part. We are also there for you in stressful or conflict situations and don’t throw in the towel (give up) when things get difficult. That means we walk this path together – which makes life easier for us all.

We, as employers, want to show that the times of de-humanising, profit-orientated (human-recourses-management) turbo-capitalism belong in the past. Our way of working demonstrates that respectful, humane and valuing management is possible.

We know that some applicants come from unpleasant or even terrible work-situations, haven’t had such good chances on the job-market and so have developed a thick skin. We understand and empathise that these experiences may have left some scars. However, we expect to be treated with the same respect that you also wish for yourself.

We are a community who have created our jobs and our working environment ourselves and for each other. Your participation and time can help us grow so that you get back a part of the earnings that you have helped to bring in.

We are a fair and transparent enterprise. All our cleaning staff work for the same pay and conditions and under the same contract. If you would like different conditions the team will have to meet and discuss this.

As a humane and people-orientated company we will go that one step further for you – for the workplace of our hearts. Are you with us?
