3 Ways to Transform Your Toxic Workplace


Heavy workloads, stress, a competitive atmosphere, a few bad seeds — whatever the cause, working in a toxic environment is unpleasant at best and excruciating at worst. Here are three ways you can begin to make positive change: 1. Start talking. Perform one-on-one, confidential interviews with employees. Give them the space to vent, and then engage them in solving the problems they've raised. 2. Be helpful, not forceful. Help employees think through the issues, but don't tell them what to do. Allow employees to take personal responsibility for making things better. 3. Don't just talk — change. Make a pledge to turn complaints into commitments. You gain employees' trust by showing them you are listening and making changes based on what you heard. | |||
