Pond

This June, Pond is excited to partner with the National Safety Council in celebrating National Safety Month 2021. At Pond, we firmly believe that safety interdependence starts with every single employee taking personal responsibility for their safety and those that they work with. We asked our team of Office Safety Coordinators to share what safety means to them and why it is important. All month, we will share their answers on how safety is embedded into every facet of our firm. #pondandcompany #safety #nationalsafetymonth #safetystartswithme
