?? Lean on me, when you're not strooooong... ?? Your workplace bestie is the real MVP! ??

They give you the look when someone suggests a 'quick' project that is not quick. They break news in the work chat faster than HR. They make every work anecdote sound like an Oscar-winning film. They’ve threatened to quit with you at least five times—but here you both still are, supporting each other! ?? So let’s make it official.

Dreading work? Feeling like you’re constantly walking on eggshells? New research from SEEK shows that 55% of Australians have experienced a toxic workplace ???? The impact goes beyond the office. Toxic workplaces don’t just ruin your work life. They can lead to stress, anxiety, burnout and even PTSD. Even after you've moved on to another role, the impact can follow you to your next job, as a toxic workplace can warp your idea of what is 'safe' or 'normal'. If this sounds familiar, it’s important to protect your mental health. Seek support from trusted professionals. Services through the Leora EAP platform are completely confidential.
