How Rakuten’s Facilities Team Elevates Employee Safety
For Rakuten Americas, acquisitions have been a near-constant part of the company’s growth. As a result, there was an organizational need for a cohesive facilities team and a new approach to facility safety.

On this week’s episode, Donna and Peter discuss:
- Implementing consistent safety programs across all locations
- Elevating the visibility of the facilities team to enhance employee safety
- Personalizing safety communications to each site
