Overview

Toxic workplaces rarely announce themselves outright. They don’t always look like open hostility or dramatic misconduct. More often, they show up quietly-in silence after meetings, in ideas that never get voiced, in burnout that gets normalized, in high performers who disengage or leave without explanation.

Over time, these patterns harden into culture, and what began as a few unhealthy behaviors becomes “just the way things are done here.” The cost of toxicity is significant and measurable. It erodes trust, increases turnover, fuels complaints and investigations, undermines performance, and exposes organizations to real legal and reputational risk. But beyond the metrics, toxic workplaces drain people-emotionally, psychologically, and professionally. When employees spend more energy protecting themselves than contributing, even the most well-designed strategies and policies will fail to deliver results.

Why should you Attend

Throughout this webinar, we’ll explore how organizations can shift from reacting to problems to preventing them, from tolerating harmful behaviors to clearly defining and enforcing expectations, and from asking employees to be more resilient to creating workplaces that are fundamentally healthier and more sustainable.
