Have you ever wondered why toxic workplace cultures are so widespread, even when no one sets out to create them?
In this solo episode of the Happier at Work podcast, Aoife O'Brien dives deep into the root causes and far-reaching impact of toxic work environments. Drawing insights directly from her upcoming book, Thriving Talent, Aoife unpacks how unintended toxicity takes hold in organisations, the subtle ways it spreads, and the critical role leaders play in either fostering or dismantling unhealthy cultures. She breaks down her Thriving Talent framework, examines the cost of ignored behaviors, and offers reflective questions to empower leaders to create workplaces where people truly thrive.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- How organisations fuel toxicity through the behaviours they reward, tolerate, or ignore.
- The importance of reflecting on the behaviours that you allow tha contradict your values.
- The consequences of a toxic workplace culture, including high-performing employees burning out or leaving, inconsistency and churn for clients, and mounting leader frustration.
