What do you do if your workplace is filled with toxic negativity?

1. Avoid complaining about negative employees behind their back. 2. Address negativity directly by scheduling a private meeting with the employee and mentioning the change in their attitude. 3. Provide specific examples of their negative behavior to make them aware of their actions. 4. Use personal observations instead of generalizations to avoid making the employee feel ganged up on.

Existem 2 atitudes possíveis para se lidar com a negatividade tóxica nos ambientes: - se blindar emocionalmente para n?o se deixar contaminar (n?o é fácil mas n?o é impossível); - ter atitudes intencionais positivas diariamente para neutralizar e reverter a negatividade com boas vibra??es, atitudes empáticas, escuta ativa, gentileza! Eu creio que a positividade é contagiante! E “água mole em pedra dura, tanto bate até que fura. Já estive num ambiente muito tóxico em que minha mesa de trabalho sempre tinha uma cadeira, um ombro amigo, um sorriso, uma palavra de incentivo para quem estava precisando desabafar.

Há uma frase antiga que gera uma excelente reflex?o: "diga-me com quem andas, que direi quem és". Observe, analise e registre. Depois tome decis?es.

It's quite significant that a person remains positive irrespective of the toxic environment because if we remain positive by setting boundaries than only we would able to do a turnaround. We have to identify our own emotional responses. The person should take it as a challenge, identify the areas that need a urgent attention & work towards it. Apart from that, we need to make them aware about the advantages & a positive effect it creates in all fronts. Furthermore, it will rub on our personal lives if we remain happy at the workplace.

The first step is to understand where the problem is coming from. Alot of the toxicity comes from lack of education or unwillingness to learn or grow. Most toxic people struggle because they are threatened or they want to gain control and cant. Overall, as soon as you find a toxic person. Work at understanding the root cause so you can approach the situation properly

In order to set healthy boundaries for yourself you have identify your own emotional responses. What makes you feel comfortable. And then work to engage more with those elements. You can’t control what’s outside you. You can only control what’s happening within you and how you are reacting to the external triggers.

Learn to say NO without feeling guilty. The most simple response to safe yourself from getting sucked into a negative work environment. Politely decline requests that violate your boundaries. Saying no doesn’t make you uncooperative—it preserves your well-being. It is important to clearly express limits and expectations.

- Cultivate emotional intelligence. - Respond with tact and standard to all communications to avoid misunderstanding and wrong interpretations. - Set boundaries and clarify when need is. - Ensure you have consensus with Team leaders on decision-making. - Avoid unnecessary interactions and gossips even they would appear beneficial. Don't feed toxicity. - Do you, perform your job following your goals and outcomes; and don't be distracted by the noise regardless where it comes from.

- Set boundaries to protect yourself from toxic individuals and situations. - Avoid unnecessary interactions and stay focused on tasks. - Clearly communicate your expectations and needs. Assertively address any violations of boundaries. - Seek support from management or HR when necessary.

Set boundaries by clearly communicating your limits and expectations regarding behavior and interactions. Focus on maintaining a positive attitude and not engaging in gossip or negativity. Seek support from HR or management if the situation persists and affects your well-being or productivity.

Be the light! One person's positivity, optimism and altruism can truly begin to make a difference in a culture. Have the empathy and desire to connect, instill hope and belief and get to know people on a more personal basis. Being optimistic and focused on success will help everyone to turn things around.

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution but you can’t be both. Know how to lead, where to lead, and ensure the vision for prosperity is clear. Just don’t quit!! You got this!!

I'd say "Don't just seek for positive influences, but Be One!" Be vocal. Contribute. Much like the negative situations of harassment in the workplace, it takes positive people with the courage to take a stand against toxic behavior to "Say something" and say it at the time the toxic behavior is encountered.

Working in a toxic environment will massively decrease your productivity over time. I used to work in such an environment, and three things helped me. 1) I did not engage in toxic conversations, gossiping, or negative interactions. I always stayed neutral while facing this kind of situation. 2) I tried my best to be the one whose approach is as positive and encouraging as possible. 3) It's hyper-important to have at least one teammate whom you can confide, who is supportive, and emotionally available.

We, as humans, can easily take on the emotions and energy of those around us which it is why we must choose to surround ourselves with people who align with our core values. When we do this, we stay balanced and authentic. Create circles with positive influences where you meet weekly or monthly to discuss what's working in the organization and where you can use your collective intelligence to impact positive change. These powerhouse circles will bolster positivity and drive innovation and change.

It's important to prepare yourself for a toxic work environment and to have practices that can mark the end of the work day. Meditation is especially helpful in developing a positive mindset to start your day. At the end of the day, I recommend movement as a way to release energy and reset. Take a walk, dance to a couple of songs, play with your pet - whatever gets you out of your head and into your body!

'Practice self-care' - This should be everyone's motto to tackle the toxic work environment. Toxic work environment does not only affect your mind and health it affects the people around you as well. If you are going through this talk about it don't keep things to yourself it will only make things worse. Do things that makes you feel better, go out, enjoy yourself, don't think about your work after working hours, coz you live once and life doesn't give you a second chance to enjoy. #beyourself #bepositive #loveyourself #share

Engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment outside of work. This could include hobbies, exercise, spending time with loved ones, or pursuing personal interests. Be well-rested. Self-care practices like journaling or talking to a trusted friend can help you gain perspective too.

- Manage stress and get enough sleep. - Eat well and exercise regularly. - Find joy outside of work. - Seek professional help if needed.

Self care is very key. You need to pay great attention to your mental health and this entails regular exercise, spending quality time with loved ones and generally engaging in activities that give you a lot of joy and happiness.

Developing emotional intelligence can truly make a difference and is a worthwhile investment of time. You can develop emotional intelligence through self-reflection, mindfulness practices, seeking feedback from others, and participating in training or coaching programs focused on emotional intelligence. Since interpersonal relationships at work are typically the most challenging aspect to manage, developing this type of intelligence and the skills associated with it is crucial.

Develop your emotional intelligence by practicing self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. Recognize triggers that contribute to negativity and cultivate coping strategies to maintain a positive mindset. Engage in constructive communication and seek solutions rather than dwelling on negativity.

Developing emotional intelligence is essential for handling workplace toxicity. Here is how: Self-awareness: Reflect on your reactions to negativity and seek feedback. Self-regulation: Control emotions and respond constructively. Social awareness: Empathize with colleagues' perspectives and validate their feelings. Relationship management: Communicate openly, build trust, and resolve conflicts respectfully. Additionally, encouraging empathy and motivation can enhance emotional intelligence, promoting a positive work culture and effective collaboration. #EmotionalIntelligence

Es importante no tomarse las cosas personales. -Cada quien tiene sus propias emociones y visiones de la vida debemos entenderlo y respirar antes de responder ante una respuesta negativa. -Respirar y analizar antes de responder ante una reacción de una persona toxica

We can only give what we have! Try to be the change. Attempting to match the negative toxicity will worsen the situation. With patience and empathy in finding the cause, there will be a better understanding of how well to manage it.

Leave if you are not in a position to influence change for the better! Learn from the experience so you avoid putting yourself in an environment like that again.

Experience as we all know is the best teacher. Gather together all your experiences (negative and positive), extract the lessons learned and put them into the best use.

Una utilidad que he encontrado a nivel profesional es que todo, absolutamente todo, deja un aprendizaje, porque a veces sucede no lo que queríamos, sino lo que debía de suceder. Entonces aceptar y caminar con eso y ver esta situación ?Qué aprendizaje me dejo?, ?Para qué se presentó? ?Qué es lo que voy a hacer de ahora en más? Las respuestas a estas preguntas te darán un camino para fluir, aprender y crecer de todo lo que vas transitando a diario, cada a?o y en los momentos importantes de tu vida.

Cada experiencia te fortalece cuando nos damos cuenta que cada persona con la que tenemos alguna relación es nuestro maestro, viene ayudarnos a crecer emocionalmente pero depende si tomamos conciencia de la experiencia vivida y las consecuencias de nuestras acciones.

Se for necessário permanecer em um lugar que evoque sentimentos negativos, é importante ter consciência da escolha feita para ent?o assumir a responsabilidade de enfrentar os desafios com maior clareza, estando ciente do para quê daquela situa??o. O crescimento pessoal é possível em qualquer situa??o, por mais desafiadora que ela seja. A tens?o nos leva a superar limites, a amadurecer emocionalmente. Conviver com diferentes tipos de pessoas, com suas personalidades e modos de enxergar a vida é desafiador, mas se abrir para tal experiência pode trazer resultados muito positivos e uma nova perspectiva acerca da vida.

Make sure you are happy! Don't get dragged down into the negativity of the workplace and have it affect your personal life. Make sure that you stay positive and encourage others. I have seen it where people get dragged into the negativity and they change who they are because they didn't stay true to there morals.

Leave. You become your environment. If you don't want to see yourself becoming someone like that in five years' time, LEAVE.

Sort out how much of what you’re experiencing is internal vs external. Sometimes what we think is the workplace is something we’re bringing with us so when we quit and move to another job, the “toxicity” resurfaces…and we’re the only common denominator. Once you’ve sussed out how much is internal and external you can proceed with a plan to either get yourself healthy or to transition out of the organization…regardless you’ll be a healthier version of yourself, making you a more attractive candidate in your job search and a healthier you when you land where you’re going.

Find your place. How? Change. If you can’t create it, change organizations. The company is a reflection of the people. Each has its unique culture. For some people it may take working for more than a few organizations before finding your match. It’s like dating. Some people marry their high school sweetheart. Others like to date before marrying.

One of the things that is so difficult about being in a toxic work environment is the fact that you don't have a lot of power. As an individual you can and should do what is outlined, but it's important to remember that the balance of power is not in your favour, so you will feel out of control. Do whatever you can within the business HR/IR channels; but also be prepared that you may need to move. You need to protect yourself.
