Are You in a Toxic Workplace?

Toxic work environments can cause us to feel anxious, stressed, and can sometimes lead to physical illness. A survey came out that said 30% of workers had experienced bullying at work. Sometimes, we don’t notice the telltale signs, and we think these work environments are just ‘normal’. Kamini sheds some light on what’s unacceptable and what to be aware of if these things are happening to you!    Let’s slow it down. A bad workplace can be through ineffective leadership. A positive workplace would be where a leader has set clear and concise goals, encourages his or her people to succeed, and has open communication with them.    However, when we don’t have good leadership that engages in honest communication or the goal post keeps shifting, this could be the beginning signs that you’re in a toxic work environment. It does depend on context, so it’s important to slow this down and check in to see if there are other signs you’re missing.    Another sign of a potential toxic workplace environment could just be a very cliquey work staff. You don’t really belong in any one of them, and so you’re left feeling like an outcast. This could be a bad sign if you’re getting weeded out of critical conversations. If there’s drama at any moment within these cliques. It’s time to take note!    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
