BLUF
Toxic workplaces with drama, chaos and conflict, with low levels of worker engagement, slowly drain enthusiasm and cause unhappy employees who are more likely to resign.Summary
Harvey Deutschendorf writing in FastCompany, identifies the characteristics of toxic organisations; some of these are:
- Lack of Appreciation –includes little recognition and interest in the whole person.
- Allowing No Autonomy over One’s Work-micromanaging doesn’t work.
- One-Size-Fits-All Staff Appreciation-leaders need to know their team.
