We like to think that one of the things that makes Baan Dek great, is that everyone on our team has the opportunity for transformation. Not only professional growth, but also personal growth. As we like to say, our team expects greatness from ourselves and we definitely encourage it from each other.
Another way to say the same thing: We’re always looking for ways to improve. These are a few of the questions we’re constantly asking: “How can we get better?”, “What’s working well?”, “What’s not working well enough?” On both ends of the spectrum, we’re continually trying to find ways to get better.

In Podcast Episode 20, Charlotte Wood dives a bit deeper into what this means. We recently published a short internal piece on why culture matters at Baan Dek – and here, she takes things further. Hope you enjoy!
