Jason Berkowitz, Founder & CEO of Arrow Up Training, joins Jason E. Brooks on The Leadership Table to share how compliance and safety training can do more than just “check the box”—it can actually shape culture, lower turnover, and strengthen leadership.

In this episode, Jason and Jason discuss:
- ✅ Why onboarding sets the tone from day one
