Aligned Data Centers Leads with a Strong Workplace Safety Culture

 

The world of data infrastructure has seen a number of rapid changes. As a result, where uptime and efficiency dominate conversations, the importance of a strong workplace safety culture can often be overlooked. But as everyone’s digital lives increasingly depend on these behind-the-scenes giants, the safety of the people maintaining them becomes more than a box to check. It becomes a moral imperative.

One leader in this space is Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned Data Centers, who brings not only perspective but passion to the conversation—let’s hear what he has to say.
