Every workplace has difficult personalities from time to time - but when negative behaviours are ignored, excused or poorly managed, they can quickly begin to damage morale, productivity and workplace culture.
Often, the warning signs are subtle at first. A high performer who intimidates colleagues or persistent gossip and negativity within a team. Left unchecked, these behaviours can create conflict, increase employee relations issues, drive good employees away and expose employers to significant legal and reputational risk.
Join WorkNest's practical webinar aimed at helping employers and HR professionals understand how to identify toxic workplace behaviour early, intervene confidently and create a culture where harmful behaviours are less likely to thrive.
Through realistic workplace scenarios and practical guidance, WorkNest will explore how to manage toxic behaviours fairly, consistently and legally - while protecting your people and your organisation.
Examine the most common forms of toxic conduct, from bullying, harassment and discriminatory behaviour to the more subtle day-to-day behaviours that corrode teams over time, including gossip, passive aggression, undermining colleagues, boundary pushing and persistent negativity.
Hosted by Julie Jones, Principal Employment Law Adviser & Solicitor, and Sita Anand, HR Consultant, this free 60-minute session will cover:
- What toxic workplace behaviour really looks like
- The most common toxic employee personas
- Why employers often get it wrong
