Purpose of the webinar
According to my 3-years study of over 400 individuals, 94% of the workforce has dealt with a toxic person over the past five years. These clever chameleons not only create personal angst and get under our skin, they also cost money. How much? Up to 6% of total compensation costs! And that’s just the beginning of these costs; 51% of victims of their venom are likely to quit; 12% do. And a whopping 87% reported that team climate and performance worsened.
Scope of the webinar
referred to as narcissists, bullies, and clever chameleons who knock down, but kiss up, these clever chameleons create havoc in the life of an HR professional. Based on my newly released book, Why I Don’t Work Here Anymore: A Leader’s Guide to Offset the Financial and Emotional Costs of Toxic Employees, this webinar covers the full scope of how these toxic individuals acquire their power, what reinforces their behavior, and most importantly—how HR can help their organizations successfully deal with them.
They shame, manipulate, and belittle in public and private as their modus operandi. Working with organizational leaders, HR feels the angst they cause, but are often unaware of how prevalent they are or how much they cost—in terms of money and team performance. What can HR do to both deal with them once they are in your organization Sometimes, as well as how to prevent these Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydes from ever entering your company?
