Lack of transparency
“You know the company culture has a problem when you walk into the room, everyone is talking about it, and suddenly it goes silent. You know company culture matters when the boss’s door is always closed.” – Liz Ryan, Forbes Editor
Don’t be a manager who is afraid to face employees, you need to talk to the team regularly, in feedback sessions or 1-on-1. This is an opportunity for you to understand each member’s goals and help them realize your vision.
Transparency is here not only in the work, but also in the goals and expectations of superiors and employees.
Lone wolves appear
Lone-wolf refers to employees who separate themselves from the organization, working in their “own way”. These can be individuals with outstanding achievements, but also potential threats to the organization.
They “teach” other members that bad behaviors/habits are still acceptable, as long as the goal is achieved and other people follow it.
Management level abuses power
Abuse of power is what erodes culture and destroys businesses the fastest.
Make sure the management in your organization, and yourself, have the trust of your employees, instead of relying on fear to push them to work.
Leading by example is the most effective way to gain this credibility.
Personnel changes frequently
A person who dislikes the job, co-worker, or organization they are working with, is more likely to quit. This sounds normal, but what about the cost of “replacing personnel”?
According to SHRM, high turnover rates due to toxic work environments cost businesses around the world $250 billion over the past five years.
Another Harvard University study found that the cost of a toxic employee – who reduces the motivation and performance of other employees and increases the turnover rate – is immeasurable. “Businesses can save up to $12,500 by avoiding or getting rid of a malicious individual.”
If you’re having problems retaining employees, it’s not simply that the company has a hiring problem, but the cause may be deeper.
Pressure overwhelms motivation
When employee motivation is under pressure for fear of not having enough sales, not meeting KPIs, and a culture of “cannibalism” or “being eaten” becomes pervasive in the organization, it is a sign of a bad culture. toxic chemicals.
Instead of intimidating employees to make them work more, motivate them to work in a positive way and help them grow (growth-based).
