We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Better Life Home Cleaning has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for the third consecutive year!
This honor means more than just a badge or a title. It’s a reflection of something much deeper—our purpose, our people, and the culture we’ve been building since day one.
What Makes This Award Special?
Unlike many awards, the Top Workplaces designation isn’t based on applications or panels. It’s built entirely on anonymous feedback from our own team, gathered by the research firm Energage. The survey measures how employees feel about the organization’s leadership, communication, support, and purpose.
We’re proud to say that we consistently rank in the top tier of all companies evaluated—not just in our industry, but across the region. We are the only residential cleaning company in St. Louis that can claim the title of “Top Workplace” and one of only a handful in the entire country.
Our Purpose: Helping People Live a Better Life
At Better Life, we don’t just clean homes—we help people live better lives. That includes our clients, yes—but it starts with our team. Creating a workplace where people feel supported, empowered, and connected is part of our core DNA and at the heart of why we chose to start our own company.
Our core values guide everything we do:
- Leadership – We show up, step up, and grow forward.
- Entrusted – We earn trust by being reliable, responsible, and real.
- Attention to Detail – We bring intention to every task, every time.
- Delight – We go beyond expectations and deliver joy.
These values aren’t just wall art—they’re active ingredients in the way we hire, train, recognize, and grow our team. This is the recipe to our success and is what we hire for, what we train for, and how we recognize top talent on our team.
A Culture That Believes in People
“This recognition means the world to us because it comes directly from our team,” says Matt Ricketts, co-founder & Chief Experience Offier. “We built Better Life to be a company that supports people—from the homes we clean to the people who make it all happen.”
We’re committed to investing in our team—not just in tools and training, but in dreams, development, and purpose. Whether it’s through our leadership pathways, the Dream Manager program, or daily team huddles that spark connection, we’re serious about building something meaningful. We believe that hard work deserves great pay and benefits, and we have committed to being an employer of choice in every way possible.
Thank You, Team 💙

Here’s to another year of making homes shine, dreams grow, and lives better.
