Toxic workplaces aren’t just bad for employee mental health, they’re bad for business.
No one sets out to build a toxic workplace culture, yet 2 out of 3 employees have experiences toxic workplaces. What’s worse, 44% of employees blame leadership.
As leaders, it’s more important than ever that we know how to spot, and stop, toxic workplace culture, and create healthy work environments in which people and businesses thrive.
To help us unpick this complex topic, we’re joined by three expert guests. 


Bonnie Low-Kramen is a TedX Speaker, Workplace Advocate and Best-Selling Author of Staff Matters, helping executives and teams work together to create the ultimate workplace.


Paula Allen is a Global Leader in Research and Client Insights at TELUS Health (formerly LifeWork), and an expert in total well-being strategy for workplaces. 


Rita Ernst is a Positivity Influencer, Organisational Consultant and best-selling author of Show Up Positive. She is committed to building workplaces where happiness and productivity converge to create positive, committed, high-performing teams.


Join us as we discuss:

What is a toxic workplace culture?

What attitudes and behaviours create toxic environments?

What behaviours can be considered bullying, harassment or discrimination?

How do we know if culture really is toxic, or if people are being sensitive?

What are the signs of a toxic culture?

What can leaders do to prevent (or fix!) toxic workplace cultures


Remember, a lack of reports does not mean a lack of incidents. If you’re a leader who cares about your staff (and business!) this is a must-listen.
