#032 - How safe do you feel failing, learning and growing in your organisation? In this episode, I had a chat with my good friends Sinem Erdemli and Callum Goodwilliam who’re also the co-founders of Random Animal, a social impact company that’s on a mission to improve work for everyone through better access to learning, design and community.
Sinem and Callum emphasise the need to focus on the human aspect of work and creating conditions in organisations where teams and individuals thrive. They also talk about the importance of building safe spaces and communities where people can go to independent of their work, work on developing skills in a non-linear fashion, or get support from peers.

Design Feeling - Making work about humans, not just products
Transcript
[00:00:00] Sinem Erdemli: We give a lot of importance to things. The thing that we're building, but there's not much emphasis on the interactions that go on the team that you're with, the manager that you have or the mentor, the friends that you make at work.
