Listen "Ep. 19| How to Avoid Toxic Work Culture"
Episode Synopsis
Millions of people face abusive supervisors and bullies at work. These employees are targets of ridicule, threats, or demeaning comments by their manager on a daily basis, which results in decreased satisfaction, productivity, and commitment to the job as well as the organization at large. While direct interactions with “bad bosses” can be traumatic for employees, the problem often goes further than a single individual. In this episode, we chop it up with HR Generalist/Founder Akida Gray on how to dismantle toxic workplaces and thrive as an employee post-Covid.
