In this episode of Benefits TV, join hosts Andrew and Rosario as they discuss toxic work cultures - why they happen, their impacts, and how to fix them. They also debate whether mandating employees to return to the office will actually improve productivity in the post-pandemic landscape. Get insights on building positive company culture, the pros and cons of remote work, and more.
Key Points Discussed:
- 60% of employees report being in a toxic work environment and looking for new jobs - what contributes to negativity and how leaders can turn culture around.
- With more positions able to work remotely now, forcing employees back to the office full-time may hurt rather than help productivity and culture.
- Tips for improving company culture: anonymous surveys, transparency with employees, bringing in third-party perspective.
- The importance of cross-training and information sharing between teams/departments.
- Productivity benefits of working from home for many employees - lack of commute, fewer distractions, ability to focus.
- The positives of some in-office time - collaboration, training new staff, relationship building.
- There is no one-size-fits-all policy - leaders should consider hybrid remote/in-office options.
