Your employees are the secret to your success. They are the face of your business, and they are the key to your success or failure. How you treat your employees dictates how your employees treat your customers. During this ARCSI Regional Event, we will bring speakers to you to help you shape a better relationship with your employees, improve employee engagement and develop a culture of success.
This full-day Regional Event includes tours of two very prominent and successful residential cleaning companies in St. Louis, a game-changing education program, and a closing networking event.

About Gosia Baran
After working in the corporate world for a few years, I got laid off a few months after 9/11. Having a 4-month-old son, I chose not to go back to the corporate world but to open my own business. I had the desire of helping people; in the corporate world helping others was not the priority. In November 2001, Helping Hands was born. Today, Helping Hands is stronger than ever, employing 45 cleaning technicians and office staff. We service residential and commercial clients in the Chicagoland area.
