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 pictures and videos about the unique ways their service center celebrated We Are ARS Week. Executives review the content and select We Are ARS Week Winners based on the meaningfulness and uniqueness of the activities. These branches are then recognized at the national Manager’s Meeting this year.
