Dealing with Toxic People at Work Webinar

by Aug 9, 2023

Having a healthy workplace and positive colleagues is incredibly crucial. It’s not just some minor thing—it actually has a huge impact on both the employees and the organization as a whole. When people feel good about their work environment, it can make a world of difference in their overall happiness and productivity.

Think about it this way: when you’re surrounded by supportive and positive coworkers, it creates a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This can lead to better collaboration, increased creativity, and a higher level of job satisfaction. It’s like everyone becomes part of a well-oiled machine, working together towards common goals.

On the flip side, if a workplace is unhealthy and there’s a negative atmosphere, it can take a toll on everyone involved. People might feel stressed, unmotivated, or even burnt out. This not only affects their individual performance but can also impact the organization’s success as a whole. After all, a company is only as strong as its employees.

As culture geeks (as we like to call it), we deeply understand the significance of a healthy workplace and the impact it has on individuals and organizations alike. We’re all about understanding workplace culture and its impact, and we’re pretty passionate about it too. 

And that’s where we come in—as experts in this field, we’re dedicated to sharing valuable insights and practical strategies to tackle the challenges that arise when dealing with difficult individuals in the workplace.

Toxic People at Work Webinar Description

Positive psychology teaches us that relationships play a crucial role in our overall well-being and happiness. However, there are some relationships that can be harmful and draining, known as toxic relationships. When toxicity is present in the workplace, it can create even more challenges. 

Toxic individuals can be significant barriers to a productive and healthy work environment. They have the ability to contaminate the atmosphere and negatively impact the entire team. But what do you do? Should you ignore them? Should you confront them? Moreover, what can you do if management is not addressing the issue? 

Join the founder of Civility Partners as she discusses strategies for dealing with toxic people at work, with over 15 years of experience working as a consultant specializing in solving toxic workplace behaviors and cultures.
