Toxic

The workplace has become a hotbed of social toxicity – from the #MeToo movement to WeWork, it's clear that abusive bosses and entrenched cultures of discrimination have become more prevalent than ever. Such behaviour is not only simply wrong and damaging to its victims – it also results in reduced productivity, higher employee turnover, and can often leave a stain upon the wider reputation of an organization.

In Toxic, Clive Lewis draws upon his decades of experience in HR and mediation to distill the problems and underlying causes of toxic workplaces before tackling the issue head-on. He draws upon first-hand case studies from an eclectic array of workplaces (from corporate offices to hospitals) to demonstrate how toxicity can be both prevented and resolved. This is a practical guide for business leaders and HR professionals looking to preserve a peaceful workplace, while also providing tips for employees looking to remain productive and focused when working with troublesome colleagues in difficult environments.

Locul de munca a devenit un focar de toxicitate sociala - de la miscarea #MeToo la WeWork, este clar ca sefii abuzivi si culturile inradacinate ale discriminarii au devenit mai raspandite ca niciodata. Un astfel de comportament nu este doar pur si simplu gresit si daunator victimelor, ci are ca rezultat, de asemenea, o productivitate redusa, o rotatie mai mare a angajatilor si poate lasa adesea o pata asupra reputatiei mai largi a unei organizatii. In Toxic, Clive Lewis se bazeaza pe deceniile sale de experienta in HR si mediere pentru a distila problemele si cauzele care stau la baza locurilor de munca toxice inainte de a aborda problema direct.
