Every organization faces employees who occasionally exhibit problematic behaviors—whether it’s excessive complaining, gossiping, inappropriate language, or mild insubordination.

While emotionally intelligent employees manage their own emotions and interactions well, toxic employees pose a serious challenge, consistently engaging in counterproductive behaviors that harm team dynamics and the company’s performance.

The toxic employee problem is more widespread than you might think. Research shows that:

• • 95% of employees have worked with a toxic employee, and 64% are currently dealing with one.
  • 50% of employees have considered quitting due to a toxic coworker, with 12% following through.
  • 25% report reducing their work effort because of toxic colleagues.
  • 20% feel targeted by toxicity on a weekly basis, while 10% witness toxic behaviors daily.

These employees don’t just damage morale—they cause both visible and hidden financial and people-related costs. Their disruptive behavior is often just the tip of the iceberg.

In this interactive webinar, leadership expert Pete Tosh will dive into the following key topics:

• • The Human & Financial Costs of toxic employees
  • Understanding the A, B, C’s of toxic behavior
  • The Psyche of a Toxic Employee: What drives their actions?
  • Common Reactions That Fail: Why typical responses don’t work
  • Effective Strategies for managing and preventing toxicity
  • Why Termination Isn’t Always the Solution

You’ll leave this session equipped with proven strategies to identify, address, and reduce toxic behavior before it derails your team and business.

Dealing with toxic employees is not only frustrating—it can drain team morale, productivity, and your organization’s bottom line.

These employees often use their technical expertise to manipulate, flatter the right people, and even turn their bad behavior on and off, depending on the impression they want to make. This kind of toxicity can spread quickly and, if not addressed, cause significant long-term damage.

Unfortunately, many organizations inadvertently enable toxic behavior by:

• • Restructuring roles to accommodate toxic employees instead of addressing the issue directly.
  • Tolerating toxic employees because they possess valued expertise.
  • Failing to seek feedback from other employees about workplace behavior.
  • Not communicating clear behavioral expectations and consequences to the entire team.

Traditional methods of addressing toxic employees, like trying to change their attitude, often fail. Why? Because attitude is difficult to control—but behavior can be managed.

This webinar will show you how to effectively address toxic behaviors and prevent them from further damaging your workplace.

Key reasons to attend:

• • Protect your team’s productivity and morale by learning actionable techniques to manage and reduce toxic behavior.
  • Stop the spread of toxicity by identifying behaviors early and applying effective solutions.
  • Learn how to address toxic employees directly, using positive and negative consequences to influence change.
  • Equip yourself with strategies to confidently manage difficult employees without risking key relationships or expertise.
  • Avoid common mistakes like tolerating or accommodating toxic employees, and instead, create a positive, healthy work environment.
