The workplace has become a breeding ground for social toxicity, with incidents such as the #MeToo movement and WeWork highlighting the prevalence of abusive bosses and entrenched cultures of discrimination. This behavior not only harms its victims but also leads to reduced productivity, higher employee turnover, and a tarnished reputation for the organization. In Toxic, Clive Lewis draws on his extensive experience in HR and mediation to explore the problems and root causes of toxic workplaces and offers practical solutions for preventing and resolving them. He draws on first-hand case studies from a diverse range of workplaces, including corporate offices and hospitals, to illustrate how toxicity can be prevented and addressed. This book is a valuable resource for business leaders and HR professionals seeking to maintain a peaceful workplace and for employees looking to remain productive and focused in challenging environments.
