One of the greatest advantages of ServiceMaster’s diverse portfolio is the
ability to share processes, best practices and talent across all of our

everywhere in the company.”
For example, acting as one company gives us better leverage with suppliers.
As a $2.5 billion company, we used our purchasing power in 2014 to drive

encourages suppliers to bring new ideas, insights and innovation to us – often
the catalyst for process improvements and new service offerings.
Acting as one also allows us to hire, promote and develop strong talent and
move them seamlessly into different roles and across multiple businesses and
brands. In addition to making it easier to develop great people, this practice
opens the door to more opportunities for career growth. Increasingly, we’re

promoted from within. Our message to prospective employees: “Why settle for
working for one great business when you can actually work for many?”
Harnessing the power of one company also allows us to listen to and learn
from each other. In 2014, we launched the ServiceMaster Leadership Program
with a class of 40 employees whose performance and promise suggest they
have the potential to be among the next generation of ServiceMaster leaders.
ServiceMaster’s Leadership Program Class of 2014 brought together the next generation of company leaders.
