Interview with Ron Gantt || Client Side Chats

Aug 19, 2020 | Client Side Chats

Ron Gantt, the Director of Innovation and Operations for Reflect Consulting Group, is our guest on today’s #ClientSideChats! A thought leader in the safety arena and co-presenter with James for the ASSP; Ron holds a different perspective on how to view safety. No longer is safety seen as solely a technical field, but instead a social field with technical aspects. James and Ron also discuss the effects of losing informal interactions and the value those informal interactions carry.
