The Recipe for Enduring and Meaningful Workplace Relationships

According to a recent survey, only 38 percent of respondents feel that leaders in their organisation take proactive steps to create a positive workplace culture. In fact, a toxic work culture is one of the main reasons people leave their jobs, ranking even higher than seeking better pay.
While some of us can talk about a positive work environment they have experienced, many more of us have found ourselves on teams where we feel undermined and unappreciated. As employees, managers, or even clients, what can we do to create and maintain better places to work?
In this presentation I will provide the ingredients and recipe for building a strong workplace culture and how this impacts client relationships. We will delve into what turns a workplace sour and how to tell when it’s happening. We will also discuss how to counteract an office culture headed in the wrong direction and provide a set of ingredients to build a better team environment.
We will also describe in detail how to deftly handle the most challenging parts of a job: setting boundaries, saying no, and giving and accepting criticism.
