Bullying, harassment, unreasonable workloads and chronic stress are all hallmarks of a toxic workplace.
While thereโs no official system to label a work environment as toxic, employees need to assess if it feels harmful and unhealthy for them.
Recognizing these signs early is crucial, as it allows employees to take action to protect their well-being and seek necessary changes or support.
