What are your organisation's values? How were they shaped? And what impact do they have on your future? In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Ross D discuss these issues with speaker, consultant and author Nathalie Nahai. We discuss:

• the importance of values for retaining talent and attracting customers
• how an organisation's values are shaped
• whether 'values training' has any benefits.
