We might think that what makes our team culture great (or awful) is different from what supports our learning and development. Are they so different, though?

In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Gemma are joined by L&D professional turned Culture Manager, Lois Ratcliffe to discuss:

• what 'culture' is and how it gets measured;

• what it takes to have a good feedback culture;

• the features of a learning culture.

Lois refers to the three layers of organisational culture proposed by Shein. To find out more about Shein, here's one of our articles on Achieving Culture Change.

In 'What I Learned This Week', Lois recommended The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells for a thought-provoking read with an AI theme.

If you're feeling time-poor, Gemma recommended the book 4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman.
