Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are a company’s mission, vision and practices to support a workplace that works towards affecting change for all employees.  Employees want to know that they work for a company that cares, that creates a healthy environment where people feel respected, appreciated and the ability to do their best work.

About TRSA’s Virtual Roundtables

TRSA virtual roundtables are collaborative sessions. Through Zoom they simulate the networking of a small TRSA face-to-face meeting, sitting at a round or hollow square table, seeing everybody in the room. Attendees share experience as TRSA provides advocacy, certification, research, and linen, uniform and facility services industry data to foster idea exchange. Conversation also guides TRSA in developing programs to meet members’ emerging needs.

These discussions are especially valuable to owner/operators, CEOs, presidents, VPs and staff directors as well as general managers.

Issues to be discussed are selected for their likelihood of affecting your operation’s near- and long-term future—such as examining how today’s techniques are evolving into tomorrow’s systems and solutions.

Flexible agendas strike the needed balance between enabling all participants enough time to fully explore a topic and moving on to other subjects when the group has provided a suitable variety of perspectives on it. This ensures the most crucial and tangible issues of the current economic and social climate are properly vetted. Industry operators’ common pain points are covered. You compare and contrast your practices to those of others in the roundtable so your team can later evaluate alternative approaches. Plus you take advantage of this strong TRSA networking activity to develop/maintain contacts with industry colleagues for future private collaboration.

Roundtables differ from presentations and seminar because there is no single instructor. You benefit from hearing from a variety of peers, not just one individual. Members and other subject matter experts facilitate roundtables, asking simple questions of participants related to the agenda topics that everyone on the Zoom can answer, keeping conversations going. This allows attendees to complete their thoughts and ask questions of each other to maximize the value of participation.

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