VIDEO: Allgood Wins 1st Place for We are ARS Week Activities

Every year, American Residential Services sets aside a period of time to celebrate ARS through activities and events in each of the service centers throughout the country.  The company calls this celebration We are ARS Week.

During this time, the letters ARS have a different meaning:

• Acknowledge Our Employees
• Refresh Our Surroundings
• Serve Our Community

Branches around the country are encouraged to participate and submit a President’s Pick Submission Form along with picture and video about the unique ways their service center celebrated We are ARS Week. Executives look over the content and pick We are ARS Week Winners based on how meaningful and unique the activities were. These branches are then recognized at the national Manager’s Meeting this year.

Allgood Plumbing, Electric, Heating & Cooling received 1^st place in the smaller branch division. The staff took this year’s ARS week to the next level. Below are some of the ways Allgood acknowledged employees, refreshed their surroundings, and served their community.
