In this episode, I present effective strategies you can apply to manage toxic behaviour by your colleagues.

I share three real-life vignettes and recommend that empathy, setting boundaries, and fostering team positivity can change a corrosive office environment to a nurturing one.

I dig into various traits a toxic colleague might portray and how best you, as an employee, can handle such negativity.

Some of these tactics include developing your personal strategy, setting expectations, documenting the toxic behaviour, and seeking support when needed. While emphasising the role of HR or management in tackling toxic behaviour, this should be your last resort when all strategies prove futile. However, you need to provide substantial documentation to support your case.

There are several possible reactions to toxic behaviour, ranging from forgiveness to distancing feelings from actions.

There’s also an in-depth discussion about the importance of empathy, building allies at the workplace, and setting boundaries to maintain a healthier work environment.
