Every workplace has difficult personalities from time to time - but when negative behaviours are ignored, excused or poorly managed, they can quickly begin to damage morale, productivity and workplace culture.

Often, the warning signs are subtle at first. A high performer who intimidates colleagues or persistent gossip and negativity within a team. Left unchecked, these behaviours can create conflict, increase employee relations issues, drive good employees away and expose employers to significant legal and reputational risk.

Join our practical webinar, where we will help employers and HR professionals understand how to identify toxic workplace behaviour early, intervene confidently and create a culture where harmful behaviours are less likely to thrive.

Through realistic workplace scenarios and practical guidance, we will explore how to manage toxic behaviours fairly, consistently and legally - while protecting your people and your organisation.

We will examine the most common forms of toxic conduct, from bullying, harassment and discriminatory behaviour to the more subtle day-to-day behaviours that corrode teams over time, including gossip, passive aggression, undermining colleagues, boundary pushing and persistent negativity.

What we'll cover:

Hosted by Julie Jones, Principal Employment Law Adviser & Solicitor, and Sita Anand, HR Consultant, this free 60-minute session will cover:

• What toxic workplace behaviour really looks like - from obvious misconduct to the subtle behaviours that quietly damage culture, morale and performance.

• The most common toxic employee personas - including the high performer who thinks the rules do not apply to them, the passive resistor, the boundary pusher and the workplace gossip.

• Why employers often get it wrong - including delayed action, inconsistency, avoiding difficult conversations and allowing poor behaviour to become normalised.

• How to intervene early and confidently - practical steps managers can take to address concerns before they escalate into grievances, conflict or legal risk.

• Creating a culture that prevents toxic behaviour - including the role leaders, managers and behavioural expectations play in shaping workplace culture.

What you'll gain:

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to identify toxic behaviours early, handle issues more confidently and reduce employee relations and legal risk.

Why attend?

Toxic workplace behaviour is rarely “just a personality issue”. When handled poorly - or ignored altogether - it can quickly lead to grievances, conflict, absence, resignations, reputational damage and legal claims.

This session will give you practical, commercially focused guidance to help you tackle problems early, support managers more effectively and create a healthier, more productive workplace culture.
