High participation in recent surveys of linen, uniform and facility service operators used to compile the annual TRSA Industry performance report and Compensation report for factory employees, has compiled compelling industry-wide financial data to identify strategies that drive long-term business success. These final results of these surveys were distributed free of charge to the TRSA member companies that provided data for the Industry Performance Report (58 companies) and the Plant Employee Compensation Report (40 companies). The full reports are now available for purchase at www.trsa.org/store.
Using 2019 financial data, confidential and compiled by the MacKay Research Group of Boulder, CO, these reports are the only industry-wide research that allows operators to compare:
