Keep Negativity from Infecting Your Workplace
It only takes one bad apple to spoil the barrel
When confronted with employees who complain, criticize or try to stir up trouble, managers often feel frustrated and helpless. They may quickly assume that there is no way to change these “personality problems,” so they just do their best to contain the damage. But tolerating such harmful behaviors is definitely NOT the smartest strategy.
Chronic negativity frequently starts with only one or two employees, but it can quickly infect an entire department. When this happens, the inevitable result is reduced productivity, damaged morale and eventually increased turnover, so wise managers try to nip negativity in the bud.
Don’t let negativity ruin your team. Join us for Keep Negativity from Infecting Your Workplace to find out how you can neutralize negativity in your workplace. Presenter Marie G. McIntyre, Ph.D., will put her 20+ years of experience to work, sharing field-tested advice to create a positive work environment for ALL employees—and you!
