Survey Seeks Opinions on How to Improve TRSA Services

Posted June 24, 2022 at 1:49 pm



A survey is underway of linen, uniform and facility services operators and supplier partners to guide TRSA in better serving you. Results will help guide future decisions about benefits and TRSA’s communication vehicles. The questionnaire is similar to membership surveys of recent years, with added emphasis on identifying the key issues likely to affect the industry’s success in the next three years.

For example, these include the impact of challenges in production, revenue growth, workforce management and development, and product and service line development. Questions on decision-making ask about the importance of achieving greater efficiencies, investing in technology and improving corporate culture. The survey features numerous references to the need to adapt practices to the post-COVID economy.

The survey link was sent for the first time on Tuesday, June 21, for TRSA President & CEO Joseph Ricci by Association Laboratory, TRSA’s research consultant, from noreply@qemailserver.com.
