Her opinions are her own.\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big chances are you&#8217;ve read the hard-hitting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">essay<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of ex-Uber engineer Susan Fowler earlier this year. She wrote about unprofessional behavior in the company, as well as discrimination and sexual harassment. As it <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">turned out later<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this case was by far not a solitary one revealing skeletons in Uber&#8217;s closet.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not by Uber alone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big dogs like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have also been accused of \u201cbros\u201d cultures in the workplace; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500 StartUps<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> founder Dave McClure apologized for inappropriate deeds towards women in the office; Justin Caldbeck from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Binary Capital<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> left the enterprise after his hardly admissible behavior became public.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toxic culture in companies is to blame here. Not only business owners but employees may cultivate it, so it&#8217;s hiring managers who become those coupling agents able to recognize and prevent it in the workplace.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the signs that your company has a toxic culture?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"from-the-management-perspective\"><strong>From the management perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most leaders, it&#8217;s difficult to understand and accept the fact sometimes they are the ones contributing to the toxic culture within the organisation often due to poor emotional intelligence and\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fear<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big bosses are afraid of not looking like leaders, missing their goals, receiving (or delivering) bad news that may threaten their self-conception, and looking stupid in front of their employees. Intentionally or not, they create toxic workplaces by dysfunctioning co-workers, driving them crazy, demotivating and making them sick, and, eventually, perhaps even encouraging them to quit.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to executive coach <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ray Williams<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, warning signs of a toxic workplace are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mere focus on what employees do wrong;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No human touch;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bureaucracy;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No concern for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/4-ways-prevent-team-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work-life balance<\/a> of your employees;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflated speeches instead of productive brainstorms during the meetings;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/7-tips-to-avoid-being-called-a-bully-at-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bullying<\/a>; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A focus on individual rather than team performance, which encourages employees to compete internally.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most employees, regardless of their level within a company, would hardly speak out about poor organizational skills or toxic behavior of their leaders. By way of excuse, they bring arguments such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I might get fired,&#8221;<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There&#8217;s nothing I can do nothing to change the culture,&#8221;<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;My boss doesn&#8217;t want to listen,&#8221;<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;My team doesn&#8217;t want to talk about it,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> etc.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You understand it&#8217;s time to stop this, <\/span><em>but how do you do that?<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-conduct-a-survey\"><strong>1. Conduct a survey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask employees to answer questions on their work environment and management&#8217;s performance. You may conduct anonymous surveys so people won&#8217;t be afraid of the consequences, and such questionnaires will help to assess the health of a company&#8217;s culture as well as decide on steps to take for its improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-invest-in-coaching\"><strong>2. Invest in coaching<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both top management and the broader staff might need training from professional coaches who would help to develop <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/how-to-assess-the-soft-stuff-when-hiring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soft skills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, promote <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emotional intelligence<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and influence job performance as well as leadership potential in the company. Better <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/health-impacts-productivity-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mental and physical health<\/a> is what your employees will get from coaching, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-define-whats-acceptable\"><strong>3. Define what&#8217;s acceptable<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For employees to understand the value of setting boundaries, you need to define them: talk about what is acceptable behavior in the company and what isn&#8217;t, and build corporate communication accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-promote-healthy-culture\"><strong>4. Promote healthy culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People should know if there are any culture problems in your company. Exposing them could help to promote healthy relations with no bullying, disrespect, gossip, and sabotage. The more employees support your campaign against toxic behaviors, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-document-meetings\"><strong>5. Document meetings<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those unwilling to communicate with appropriate boundaries, try bringing in a third party to control toxic behaviors. It can be documentation of all business meetings to protect employees from dramas with bureaucracy, bullying, harassment, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"from-the-employees-perspective\"><strong>From the employees&#8217; perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Nicole Torres wrote:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Avoiding a toxic employee can save a company more than twice as much as bringing on a star performer \u2013 specifically, avoiding a toxic worker was worth about $12,500 in turnover costs, but even the top 1% of superstar employees only added about $5,300 to the bottom line.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often the harmful behavior of one toxic employee becomes the reason for several other talented people to quit the company. To prevent it and nurture a positive culture in the office, HR departments (along with the leadership team) should be able to recognize the source of the problem and do their best to \u201cheal\u201d it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-signs-of-having-toxic-employees-in-your-company\"><b>What are the signs of having toxic employees in your company?<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"1-gossips\"><strong>1. Gossips<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s easy to spot such employees: unhappy with everything, gathering in cliques and putting a negative spin on any company news. They gossip about management and co-workers, crucify leadership, and complain about the smallest things.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-hiding-information\"><strong>2. Hiding information<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a closer look at the managers in your company: unwilling to share business information with peers, they kill trust and seed prejudices among co-workers. Reasons for such behavior are evident \u2013 power and control \u2013 but, as far as you understand, it&#8217;s not what healthy corporate relations look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-annoyance\"><strong>3. Annoyance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toxic co-workers are those interrupting others, invading your space, spying and gossiping about personal issues, and willing to discuss everything unrelated to work. In other words, they annoy your devoted employees and don&#8217;t understand what they do wrong when you highlight their toxicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-employees-demotivation\"><strong>4. Employees demotivation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another warning sign of a toxic culture in your office is de-energized employees. That happens when a company lacks the practice of encouragement and support, and when your managers dismiss the value of people, demotivating them to offer ideas and work for the overall mission and strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-health-problems\"><strong>5. Health problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A toxic workplace is stressful, so it stands to reason that your employees experience both physical and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emotional health issues<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when in such an atmosphere. If your company culture is negative, you will notice an increase in internal conflict, anger, blowups, an unwillingness to deal with additional tasks, and staff taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/unhappy-employees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">excessive days off<\/a> due to illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-can-you-do-to-prevent-a-toxic-environment\"><b>What can you do to prevent a toxic environment?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conduct <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stay interviews<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with your current employees to understand what goes wrong in a company and what you could do for better workplace organization and turnover decrease;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give people access to sufficient information so they can all make decisions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revise your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/5-reasons-why-my-opinion-on-performance-reviews-has-changed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">performance plan<\/a> to include \u201crespect\u201d and \u201cencouragement\u201d behaviors;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help your managers develop leadership skills for them to teach rather than preach; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/employer\/4-ways-prevent-team-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">team building events<\/a> to promote understanding, respect, and friendly relations between co-workers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEO of Human Workplace, Liz Ryan has made things easier to detect corporate toxicity in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs of a Toxic Culture<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
