TRSA is urging operators to complete the 2022 TRSA Industry Performance Report (IPR) survey. Participation in the IPR survey creates industrywide financial data that provides intel on the linen, uniform and facility services market so operators can identify strategies, markets and best practices to facilitate growth and long-term success. TRSA members who participate receive an individualized industry performance report (IPR) for easy comparison with competitors free of charge.

A survey is underway of linen, uniform and facility services operators and supplier partners to guide TRSA in better serving you.

An anticipated increase in U.S. adult inpatient days points to increased demand for textiles for acute and tertiary care.

Operator and supplier partner members’ Net Promoter Score (NPS) ratings of TRSA membership have reached all-time highs, hitting 72 and 69, respectively, with operators exceeding their previous highs (65 in 2018 and 2020) and supplier partners continuing to rate the association higher each year since TRSA began calculating their NPS in 2018.
