Bringing the debate to you

Since 2016, The Mindtools L&D Podcast (formerly The Good Practice Podcast), has been a must-listen for anyone working in HR or L&D. It’s an open, supportive, and accessible spaces to debate the world of work, with its mix of expert insights and good humor.

Each week, we talk to special guests, industry leaders, practitioners, and authors to tackle the big questions facing our organizations. We also review the latest theories and share experiences, backed up by learning and performance insights.

Episode 465 — The business impact of play at work

All children play but, over time, that instinct goes away. We don’t lose it, we don’t forget. Instead, we get taught to stop.

For author and toy designer Cas Holman, that’s a problem. With a very real impact on business performance.

In this week’s episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Cas joins Ross Garner and Gemma to discuss:

  • How traditional workplaces suppress play
  • The business benefits of play at work
  • How to encourage play when your organization won’t tolerate it.
