A negative workplace hurts employees and management alike, leading to turnover, disengagement, lower productivity, lawsuits and brand damage. This webinar on negativity in the workplace shows you how to take the problem on directly instead of hoping it fades.
Negativity comes from many sources, including toxic leaders, economic pressure, work-life balance issues, rapid change, high turnover and having the wrong people in key roles.
You'll look at the top five causes and the damage negativity does, then work through strategies for your own negativity, for negative leadership and for negative employees, along with using surveys and rewarding positive behavior.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Employee disenchantment with the workplace has been growing, and negativity tends to feed on itself, creating a downward spiral. Without a deliberate effort to counter it, things only get worse.
This session suits leaders and managers, HR managers, directors, partners and consultants, supervisors, company owners and recruiters who want practical ways to turn a negative environment around.
