  • Facility and Cleaning Management Professionals
Ben Walker speaks to a packed house of facility and cleaning management professionals during the recent Clean Buildings Expo. One of the people who stood in the line following my session asked if I would have time over the next few days to speak with her further. She owned a contract cleaning business and was looking to improve some of the processes in place. I told her I'd sit down with her the next morning for coffee and we'd talk. Just talk, no consulting fees, no selling-just talking through some of her issues ,sharing ideas to help her make her business more efficient. I don't tell you this to pat myself on the back. I share it because the high from last week's event was still fresh on my mind when I started digging through my email this morning and came across this expose just published by Variety magazine, a weekly entertainment guide: "How America's Biggest Theater Chains are Exploiting Their Janitors."
