AESPD - Asociación Española de Servicios Personales y Domésticos

What AESPD - Asociación Española de Servicios Personales y Domésticos does

AESPD (Asociación Española de Servicios Personales y Domésticos) is a Spanish national-level non-profit employer association (patronal) founded in April 2009 and headquartered in Madrid. It exclusively represents companies and organizations operating in the personal and household services sector (Servicios a la Persona), serving three principal stakeholder groups: member companies, family households that employ domestic workers, and the domestic workers themselves. AESPD engages in regulatory advocacy, social dialogue with public administrations and trade unions, and participation in European projects to advance the formalization, professionalization, and recognition of the sector.

The association's products are institutional rather than technological. Its core offering is the Plataforma Desarrollo SAP, a multi-stakeholder platform launched in 2022 to develop and structure personal and household service offerings. AESPD also organizes working breakfasts (Desayunos de Trabajo), seminars, study days, and European conferences (e.g., PHSDialogue, Scale UP), and publishes regulatory and sectoral content via its website and social channels. No proprietary technology, software, or AI/ML systems are developed or sold.

AESPD is funded through recurring membership dues from sponsor and associate member companies. It does not publicly disclose revenue or membership fee structures. The organization is a member of EFSI (European Federation for Services to Individuals) and collaborates with European trade union federations (EFFAT, EFFE, UNI Europa). It operates with a lean team of approximately 7 employees and is led by President Ana Garrido, with Alicia Novalvos serving as Coordinadora General and Enrique Lamarca (Director General of AXA Assistance España) as Tesorero. Its tax identification (N.I.F. G-85640647) confirms its legal status as a Spanish non-profit entity.
