Relay For Life- Branson Unites for Worthy Cause

June 4th was truly a night to remember in Branson, MO. The Branson Cedar Ridge Elementary school was packed full of cars, with hundreds of people packed onto the track to give their time, money and energy to raise money for cancer research. Relay for Life is one of Branson's biggest fundraising events of the year and this year certainly didn't disappoint.

It was Brokate Janitorial's first year to lead it's own team to raise money and participate in the event and certainly won't be it's last. "It was a really cool experience to see just how many people in our community came out excited and stayed all through the night for such a worthy cause." said Senior Account Manager Jason Brokate.

"I've gone the last few years to support other teams, and the experience was much more exciting this time around having a team of our own to go through everything with. We are all excited to double our efforts next year, and have already begun thinking of fundraising ideas. This time was a learning experience for us all and next year we will be much more prepared and enthusiastic." said Team Leader Margie Brokate.

Besides raising money to help find a cure for cancer, the event also pays tribute to those who have lost their lives from the terrible disease during it's touching Luminaria Ceremony.

Cleaning with a Mission

"Strive to wake up each day, thinking of ways to clean up our industry's image and scrub away those negative connotations that leave people in a constant state of distrust. Work to polish our procedures and methods to ensure the best job is getting done every time. A clean building means a clean image, and the ability to look in the mirror proudly each and every day is the surest sign of success and happiness."



Brokate Janitorial's new mission statement has been created with a purpose. From every level of our growing janitorial company, we have devoted ourselves to improving the way office cleaning is performed and perceived. It is certainly true that there are many other great janitorial companies that exist around the United States. In fact, Brokate Janitorial communicates regularly with many other companies around the United States that belong to the Global Cleaning Association to discover new ideas, products and methods for everything cleaning related. It's important to have a network of peers to gather together to implement best practices for handling things like the H1N1 Influenza, learning new ways to clean "green" while not driving up costs and how to give customers the most "Bang for their Buck."

Brokate Janitorial hopes to continue to service more and more businesses in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Branson and Hollister areas that are looking for both quality and value.

Spring to Action! What Springfield, Ozark, Nixa and Branson Businesses need to do NOW!

It's officially Spring, and every good cleaning company knows what that means! No, not Spring Cleaning, but baseball season. You see while many individuals and companies see Spring as a chance to focus on cleaning things up a bit, Brokate Janitorial works around-the-clock, all year long to prevent that need for "Spring Cleaning."

Instead, we are able to continue to "Play Ball" in our facilities for both our day and night cleans. Baseball season, however, is something we can definitely get excited about. While I won't speak on behalf of everybody at Brokate Janitorial, I can say that many look forward to rooting for both the Springfield and St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols for another season. Last year, we marveled along with all of baseball as Pujols finished his season batting .327 and hitting 47 home runs, proving yet again that he is one of the most consistent hitters in baseball. That equates to 186 hits out of 568 at-bats. That means that the best player in baseball failed to get a hit in his other 382 at-bats. While baseball players are afforded the luxury of being able to make mistakes day-in and day-out, many of us are not so lucky.

Each profession has a different margin of error. Some mistakes are far more costly than others, while some professions allow for a certain level of mistakes due to the complexity of the job. In the commercial cleaning industry, companies expect near perfection from the companies they hire to come to bat for them each night. Medical facilities need to be sterile for the next day's patients and offices need to be cleaned, dusted and ready for another day of taking care of business. Sales offices need clean areas for both themselves to mentally prepare for the next pitch, as well as any clients they may encounter face-to-face so that the focus can be on their product or service and not the cobwebs.

This is why establishing a clear "game plan" from the start is essential before ever stepping in the box(facility). While the margin of error is much smaller than baseball, cleaning companies need to be prepared for inevitable errors and mistakes. This is where the importance of having a good management team is essential. Like a batter struggling at the plate, a good cleaning company needs to have the proper oversight and direction to keep it's players doing the correct things, consistently.

A good manager knows how to utilize the strengths and weaknesses of each member of his team, which spots to use them in and when to bench them. Many of the decisions are not easy, but having management in place that takes action and continues to work towards improving the team each and every day, gives everybody the greatest chances of success.
