Toxic workplaces aren’t just bad for employee mental health, they’re bad for business.No one sets out to build a toxic workplace culture, yet 2 out of 3 employees have experiences toxic workplaces. What’s worse, 44% of employees blame leadership.As leaders, it’s more important than ever that we know how to spot, and stop, toxic workplace culture, and create healthy work environments in which people and businesses thrive.To help us unpick this complex topic, we’re joined by three expert guests.  Bonnie Low-Kramen is a TedX Speaker, Workplace Advocate and Best-Selling Author of Staff Matters, helping executives and teams work together to create the ultimate workplace.

She is committed to building workplaces where happiness and productivity converge to create positive, committed, high-performing teams. Join us as we discuss: What is a toxic workplace culture? What attitudes and behaviours create toxic environments? What behaviours can be considered bullying, harassment or discrimination? How do we know if culture really is toxic, or if people are being sensitive? What are the signs of a toxic culture? What can leaders do to prevent (or fix!) toxic workplace cultures Remember, a lack of reports does not mean a lack of incidents. If you’re a leader who cares about your staff (and business!) this is a must-listen.ResourcesBonnie Low KramenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonnielowkramen/Website: https://wwwbonnielowkramen.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/BonnieLowKramenBest-selling book ‘Staff Matters’: https://www.amazon.com/Staff-Matters-People-Focused-Solutions-Workplace/dp/0976326841Paula AllenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paula-allen-2717206/Website: https://lifeworks.com/enRita ErnstLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rita-ernst-positivity-influencer/Website: https://www.igniteextraordinary.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/igniteextraordinary/Best-selling book ‘Turn Up Positive’:https://www.amazon.com/Show-Up-Positive-Rita-Ernst/dp/B09YN7Y6QXMore From Truth, Lies & Workplace CultureJoin the conversation on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/truthlieswork/Listen back to Truth & Lies for more on:Psychological Safety:https://truthliesandwork.com/episodes/psychological-safetyBurnout & Teams: The Pandemic You Didn’t See Cominghttps://truthliesandwork.com/episodes/burnout-the-pandemic-you-didnt-see-coming-part-2How (NOT) to be a Psychopath: A Leader’s Guidehttps://truthliesandwork.com/episodes/leaders-psycho-sociopathConnect with Al and LeanneConnect with Al on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisalelliott/Connect with Leanne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meetleanneInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/truthlieswork/Twitter: https://twitter.com/truthliesworkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8U5VQV-F4qY7MrAo5K90kATikTok (LOL): https://www.tiktok.com/@truthliesworkEmail: podcast@truthliesandwork.com

As male leaders, we understand that it can be challenging to discuss certain topics, especially when they are related to sensitive matters such as women's health. This episode is dedicated to addressing those questions you've always wanted to ask but were afraid to bring up.These remarkable women bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, and they are eager to help demystify the subject for our listeners. Our goal is to foster an open and honest conversation about women's health, empowering male leaders to be better informed and more empathetic in their approach towards their female colleagues and employees.In this episode, our esteemed panel will shed light on a range of women's health topics, such as menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and more. We will also explore the intersection between women's health and workplace culture, discussing how organizations can implement policies and practices that support the well-being of their female employees. Through this conversation, we hope to bridge the gap in understanding and create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for everyone.Whether you're a male leader seeking guidance or simply someone who wants to gain a deeper understanding of women's health, we're confident that you'll walk away from this discussion with valuable insights and a new perspective.Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your horizons and become a better ally to the women in your workplace!ResourcesDr Kellie Pritchard-PeschekDr Kellie offers 1-2-1 coaching and treatment programs supporting women with burnout and perimenopause.You can find out more at  Website: drkellierose.com Instagram @drkellierose  LinkedIn: @kelliepritchard Facebook: Dr Kellie Rose Dr Claire AshleyDr Claire Ashley, our burnout doctor, also offers various free and paid-for services for both individuals and businesses. Check out drclaireashley.com including her blog, and connect through Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn.Hannah AustinI highly recommend Hannah's book for women that have, or are experiencing burnout, questions around identity and life and career transitions."Hello, Head, Meet Heart" is available on Amazon.Hannah also offers organizational wellness workshops and talks, and private 1:1 coaching for busy (and burnt-out) professionals through her consultancy SheShatter.Head to sheshatters.com for more information.And while you’re there, be sure to check out the She Burns podcast, Season 3 is themed 'Women Game Changers', where Hannah explores the stories of powerful, resilient, driven women that have influenced change to help themselves and women everywhere burn bright.Other resources I’d recommend include: The primary care women’s health forum for a whole host of resources related to physical and mental health. https://pcwhf.co.uk/ The women’s recourse centre WRC is the leading national umbrella organisation for the women’s sector in the UK, striving to give voice to the most marginalised and disadvantaged organisations. https://www.wrc.org.uk/values-vision-mission You can also check out the Big Ideas for Women and Girls Coalition advocates for placing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls at the center of U.S. foreign policy and assistance, as not only the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do. https://bigideascoalition.org/ If you’re in the UK, The Acas website is a vital resource, including help to understand your rights and options, employers and anyone affected by sexual harassment at work https://www.acas.org.uk/sexual-harassment/get-help-and-support Victim Support in the Uk also offers support for victims of sexual harassment, including a dedicated helpline. https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/crime-info/types-crime/sexual-harassment/, 08 08 16 89 111 And of course, we will always recommend The Samaritans.

We’re told to recruit superstars. A team of superstars means high performance…right? What if we told you the opposite was true. Hiring superstars has been shown to drag team performance down. And worse, a toxic superstar costs us productivity losses equating to four full-time employees. So, what now? Are superstar hires the silent culture killers? And if they are, how do we attract great (good...? average..?!) talent that contirbutes to team performance and adds value to our culture. To answer these mind-twisting questions and more, we’re joined by three very special expert guests.Join Ryne Sherman, Chief Science Officer at Hogan, and Martin Solway and Fidel Torreiro, Co-Founders of Audax Generation, as we discuss:  What is the superstar effect?
