2020 has been a challenging year full of transformations in the way we work, study and socialize. Building service contractors and their workforces have become more important than ever now that cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting are top priorities for so many people. With cleaners shouldering this burden amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important now than ever to show your appreciation for your staff on Thank Your Cleaner Day.

COVID-19 has upended the way we do everything: From the way we work and learn to how we interact with others, the pandemic has pushed many of us to the edge.

What does it mean to be a hero? For some, it conjures images of superheroes. For Contracting Success+ Keynote Speaker Kevin Brown, you don’t need to have a cape or super human powers to be a hero. For business owners and leaders, a hero starts with the power of positivity. Leaders should rise to challenges, face them head-on, and work on being the best versions of themselves at home and in the office.
