Negating Negativity in the Workplace

Most, if not all of us, have been involved in negativity in the workplace. We all know that it often spreads quickly throughout the organization.

Workplace negativity is a major issue that can have serious financial consequences for your company. It can lower employee morale and drain your employees' energy.  In a matter of days, the workplace can become toxic. Don't let this happen to you and the work area you are responsible for overseeing. You can read articles about negativity but they suggestions that do not delve into the real issue or become so complicated that they cannot be implemented.

In this webinar, you will find good, common sense and easy to implement ways to ensure that negativity is nullified and never noticed again.

More people and organizations are now impacted by workplace negativity than ever before. As they are expected to do more with less, both managers and team members report feeling more stressed. You don't need a Ph.D. to figure out that a negative work environment has an adverse effect on productivity, profitability, morale, absenteeism, and turnover.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated that negativity costs businesses $3 billion a year due to its harmful effects. Employees who left their jobs due to bad company culture may have cost organizations over $220 billion, reports the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Imagine how much more could be accomplished if you were able to wipe out rumors, gossip, conflicts, and other factors that affect employee engagement.

Is your workplace a positive, uplifting place to be, or do you feel your energy levels drop the moment you step through the door?

If employees are constantly complaining or being negative, it can sap the energy and morale of everyone they come into contact with. It’s all too easy for this negativity to become a vicious cycle where everyone feels irritable and discouraged. You may even find that chronic negativity in your workplace leads to higher employee turnover.

Sometimes, of course, negativity can be related to genuine problems; people may well have good reason to complain! All too often, though, it becomes an unintentional — and unfortunate — part of a company’s culture.

A negative workplace isn’t good for anyone. It affects productivity and means that employees might move on much sooner than you’d want them to. You might think that negativity is entrenched in your culture, especially if some of it comes from senior leaders. But by taking a proactive approach, you can inject more positivity into your workplace.
