Individual employee behaviours can permanently damage your workplace. These are the 8 toxic attitudes that you need to identify and eliminate from your business before it's too late. For more, check out this article on 7 red flags that your culture is turning toxic: https://www.greatmanagers.com.au/bad-workplace-culture/

2. Leaders want to build positive
workplaces.
A good workplace encourages
productivity, boosts morale, and gets
results.

3. Unfortunately, individual employee
behaviours can damage the workplace.
These are eight toxic attitudes that you
need to eliminate from your
organisation.

4. Lateness

5. Statistics show that about 40% of
Australians start work late on a
regular basis.

6. Lateness breeds discontentment in the
office.
Others see it and wonder why they should
bother sticking to their contracted hours.
It also has a direct effect on your results.

7. Narcissism

8. Employees who
think they can do
no wrong aren’t
open to other
people’s ideas.

9. Narcissists damage the collaborative
nature of the workplace.
Their attitudes prevent others from
sharing ideas that could help the
organisation.

10. All Talk
And
No Action

11. Some people are always quick to offer
advice.
But when it comes to actually doing
anything, they disappear.

12. These employees fail to
take initiative.
Instead, they tell others
how to do their jobs,
which saps morale.

13. Unresponsiveness

14. Have you ever sent an important email,
only to find the recipient doesn’t respond
for several days?
Their delayed response prevents you
getting on with your job.

15. Unresponsive people damage
the organisation’s workflow.
They act like your issue
doesn’t matter. As a result,
they also act like the
organisation’s needs don’t
matter.

16. Disorganised
People

17. Failure to stay organised
shows disrespect for the
workplace’s rules and
culture.

18. Having papers strewn all over the place
makes it hard to find important
documents.
Disorganised people lack focus and slow
projects down.

19. Passive
Aggression

20. Passive aggressive people operate in
the shadows.
They don’t confront issues directly.
Instead, they make snide comments
and start rumours.

21. This damages morale when people pick up on it.
The workplace ends up divided because people don’t
confront issues as they arise.

22. Inappropriate
Humour

23. Has an off-colour joke ever left you feeling
uncomfortable?
Lewd and sexist “humour” has a damaging
effect.
The subject of the “joke” experiences a drop in
morale, which affects their results.

24. Humour has a place in the workplace.
However, a degree of professionalism
is important.

25. Not Caring
About Meetings

26. It’s true that not
every meeting is
going to set the
world alight.

27. But that doesn’t mean that people
can show their disdain for meetings
while they’re involved in them.

28. People who stop paying attention in
meetings create a bad influence.
Their attitudes suggest that the meeting
doesn’t matter. Others may pick up on this
and start treating them in the same way.

29. These toxic attitudes have serious effects on
the workplace.

30. They have the following effects:
• Slowing down communication
• Sapping morale
• Lowering productivity
• Breeding disrespect

31. Take appropriate disciplinary
action whenever somebody
showcases one of these toxic
behaviours.

32. Getting rid of toxicity creates a
better working environment for all.
