Toxic workplace cultures are preventable.
72% of employees reported to have quit their organisations as it was toxic, and 51% mentioned that they plan on quitting (at some stage) for the same reason (2022 Toxic Work Environment Report). If toxic cultures are one of the main reasons people leave, then what can be done to prevent this?
“We cannot overlook the fact that there is a systemic issue within a department or team when it comes to giving feedback on behaviour or wider performance. It is just not in the DNA of the workplace culture (or within managers) to handle complaints or have difficult conversations in an honest light.”
Stephen Bell, our Managing Director, and Facilitator
Positive workplace culture is cultivated from the top.
What makes our training stand out?
Most bullying, harassment and discrimination programs focus on recognising the behaviour, understanding the laws and implementing potential prevention strategies. Our flagship program 'Custodians of Culture' not only covers those things, but comes from the perspective of fostering a healthy culture. We believe at its core, a healthy workplace culture is the only thing that can truly prevent inappropriate behaviours.
Using our signature Workplace Reality Theatre training method, we draw on industry and sector-specific case studies, allowing participants to respond to real-time scenarios played out by professional actors. Participants receive feedback from our expert facilitator on how to assess issues that require escalation versus those that can be resolved by providing employees with the right resources.
