This Connections is free and open to single-plant operators.

Performance Measurement as a Foundation for Independent Operator Growth

This roundtable discussion for single-plant, independently owned linen, uniform and facility services companies will help participants move beyond simply tracking results to truly understanding what drives performance and profitability. Discover how to better invest your time, act on performance insights, and connect daily operations to profitability—all while learning alongside peers facing similar business challenges.

This virtual event is designed specifically for independent operators ready to shift from focusing on outcomes to understanding the “how” and “why” behind those results to sharpen decision-making and accelerate sustainable growth.

Pre-session polling of event registrants will tailor the discussion to attendees’ real-world challenges.

You’ll Gain:

  • Opportunities to connect with fellow independent operators
  • Clear, foundational KPI knowledge
  • Practical strategies to track metrics that matter
  • Insight into turning data into smarter business decisions
  • Insight into how TRSA resources can support long-term success

This event is part of TRSA’s new Independent Operator Network (ION) initiative designed to strengthen education, information-sharing and peer collaboration for single-plant, independent linen, uniform and facility services companies. Both TRSA members and non-members are invited to participate.

When you register, you will receive a Zoom link for your calendar and agenda updates. Connections are not recorded.
