As health professionals, it is not only incumbent on us to be role models of ethical behaviour and safeguard human rights, but to also to help build ethical and humane workplaces. This is after all where most working adults spend the bulk of their productive time. To enable positive outcomes, we need to upskill health care professionals in diagnosis and prognosis of toxic workplaces. We look at this topic through 3 lenses: individual, team and the organisation. Defn: Toxic behaviour is behaviour that is harmful to an organization, including either its property, reputation, or people. Toxic by its very nature implies that this behaviour is both contagious and bad for others. Prof Dylan’s Minors team showed that if someone is influenced by toxic colleagues, that person is then 50% more likely to become toxic, too. One Cornerstone On Demand report found that good employees were 54 % more likely to leave when forced to deal with a toxic co-worker. 🔗 More info: https://www.psyssa.com/de-toxify-our-workplaces-june-2025/ Advertisement Disclaimer: This is a paid advertisement.
