Off Broadway
Employees bring an artistic sensibility to a new york city cleaning company.
When it comes to keeping New York City clean, there's no
company more thorough than The Manhattan Feather Dusters Inc., a
commercial and residential cleaning business. Since 1988, founder
Everet H. Goldberg has been scrubbing out the spots. One of his
secrets to success lies in the talents of his employees.
More than half of Goldberg's employees--including an Emmy
award-winning costume designer--are also pursuing careers in the
fine and performing arts. "People involved in the arts make
excellent cleaners," Goldberg says. He discovered this after
hiring artists during the early days of his business. "They
approach everything they do with gusto, and they have a unique
understanding of aesthetics and attention to detail." In
return, Goldberg offers flexible schedules and a welcome
alternative to sedentary desk jobs. Sounds like there couldn't
be a more talented cast of employees.
