According to the most recent “Women in the Workplace” report from LeanIn.Org and McKinsey, the gap between men and women leaving their jobs is the largest it has been since the report was first published eight years ago. For every female director who is promoted, two women at the same level of seniority choose to quit. The report states that women are leaving companies that fail to deliver on “the cultural elements of work that are critically important to them.” Culture is our lived experience of work, and for women today, the lived experience of work isn't great. For example, the Women at Work report by Deloitte published this year finds that 10% more women are experiencing; harassment, microaggressions and exclusion at work compared to a year ago. Overall, this is an increase from 51% to 59% of women. To understand how pervasive toxic cultures are, Charles Sull, cofounder of CultureX and Donald Sull, senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management and cofounder of CultureX analyzed the language that 3 million U.S. employees used in Glassdoor reviews to describe their employer between 2016 and 2021. What they found is a gender gap in men and women's experiences of toxic workplace cultures. Overall Women spoke more negatively than men about most elements of culture, including work-life balance and collaboration. The largest gap between the genders however, is for toxic culture, which they define as a workplace culture that is disrespectful, no inclusive, unethical, cutthroat, or abusive. On todays episode Charlie Sull joins us on the show to discuss these issues. Even if employees don't quit, employees in toxic environments are more likely to disengage from their work, exert less effort, and bad-mouth their employer to others. Sustained exposure to a toxic culture increases the odds that employees will suffer from anxiety, depression, burnout, and serious physical health issues. Given the impact toxic workplace cultures can have on our mental and emotional wellbeing, it is important we understand how to solve this issue. Here Charlie shares what we can do. Action One: Be nicer to people - dilute the toxic culture. Action Two: Report toxic behaviour to HR, if you witness it or it is happening to you. Action Three: Take reliable data to senior leadership and keep talking about it to ensure senior management realize that this is a problem and place the item on the agenda of the CEO. Don't lose your voice. CultureX
Toxic workplace culture: this is what can you do about it, and why you want to. Let us take you from the experience of it (check our previous episode) to the big picture. Over the past 10 years, workplace culture has generally become more toxic. Research* has specified the main markers of toxic workplace culture: Non-inclusive Unethical behaviour, lack of integrity Disrespectful Abusive management Cut-throat, ruthless Moreover, your body will tell you. It knows way more than you think. The kind of chronic stress that toxic workplace culture causes isn't something you just step over. Its sometimes difficult to differentiate between interacting spheres, to clarify what is the me of it (you), the we of it (your team members) and the us of it (the organisation and wider system). That top-5 list can help your brain catch up and notice, to spot how toxic behaviour shows up. Then, finding the courage to name it is what you can do: “I notice this happened and I have some concerns.” Know that it is ok to say ‘this is not ok'. You don't need to win the agreement of others. You can share your experience and name what it is that you want changed. Know that it's a good idea to process what you experienced, because you may be carrying it forward into new work situations. Know that leaving is a really valid option. And also know that you can make intentional choices about the impact that you have, notice and name what you – and your team – need to thrive, rather than survive. You don't always have full control over workplace toxicity, but you can certainly have an impact. * Referenced: “Toxic Culture Is Driving the Great Resignation” - Donald Sull & Charlie Sull – MIT Sloane Management Review https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/toxic-culture-is-driving-the-great-resignation/ Brene Brown's Dare to Lead Podcast: How Toxic Work Cultures Are Driving the Great Resignation, with Dr. Donald Sull & Charlie Sull https://brenebrown.com/podcast/how-toxic-work-cultures-are-driving-the-great-resignation/ More about us: Lisa Dempsey – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisakdempsey/ - https://www.leadershiplabs.eu Marjolijn Vlug – https://www.linkedin.com/in/marjolijnvlug/ - https://www.marjolijnvlug.nl/?lang=en Reach us both at PeopleImpactPodcast@gmail.com
“I went from being this courageous person, willing and loving to challenge the status quo, to feeling I have to be compliant and I need to placate. It was a black hole that sucked me in, and I didn't realise it was toxic.” “At what point did you recognise that?” “Well, when I hit my burnout.” This People Impact podcast episode gets both personal and insightful about toxic workplace culture, a meaty and meaningful topic that gets incredibly messy when you're in the middle of it. That right there is why we disentangle it. It is so prevalent that it's no longer the exception, it's becoming commonplace. Research has shown that toxicity in organisations has actually increased over the past decade. As we have such busy lives and we're under so much pressure from every direction, we have much less bandwidth to be able to deal with this. The impact is massive. What are the factors of toxic workplace culture? How do you spot it when you're in it – instead of second-guessing yourself and blaming yourself? Step into observer mode with us, separating out the Big Five contributors to toxicity, to see more clearly.

Terminate Toxic Culture with Phil Gerbyshak | We need new insights as The Great Resignation drags on! We're hearing daily how businesses continue to struggle with hiring and retaining employees. In fact, over the last 18 months, employers have experienced attrition rates in the high teens. Just how bad is that rate? Well, we can compare it to the tech industry which is known for its high turnover rate—higher than in any other business sector. The tech industry's historic turnover rate has been just over 13%. So the attrition rates in the high teens that we've been seeing for the last year and a half exceed the turnover rate of the industry that has had the highest rate! And what we like to do here on The Counterfeit Sleep Podcast® is to get at the WHY that's driving the problem. So the obvious question is Why is the turnover rate so high? And that's where it gets really interesting to me. There's a range of ideas on “why” we're seeing such high levels of attrition. Some say it's about wanting more money. Some say it's about wanting greater flexibility. And more recently, a new “why” emerged: “toxic culture.” In January of 2022, Donald Sull, an MIT researcher and co-founder of CultureX, and his colleagues published an article called Toxic Culture Is Driving the Great Resignation. I recommend that everyone read it, and you can find the link to the article in the show notes. But the skinny is this: Sull and his colleagues identified the Top Predictors of Attrition During the Great Resignation…and toxic culture topped the list. By far. So if we know an epidemic of toxic culture is a major “why” behind the great resignation, that's good news, right? Once we've identified the why of a problem, we're in a position to work toward a solution. So what now? Certainly, addressing the epidemic of Counterfeit Sleep® is a key element of the solution, and you hold a key piece of the solution, as well, Phil. And that's why I've been so eager for our conversation today. You work with businesses to leverage modern selling practices, including social and virtual selling, to increase their profitability, their productivity, and their performance. And you have some keen insights about toxic culture. So let's get into what you're seeing and hearing, your insights, and some key strategies to help businesses terminate toxic culture and build the positive culture that keeps employees through thick and thin!

Across America, hospitals are pushed to the limit because so many health care workers have quit just as Omicron is surging. But hospitals aren't alone, and Omicron isn't the only culprit. We're witnessing one of the most profound changes in the American labor force in a half century, at least since middle-class women entered paid work in large numbers during the 1970s. Only this time, women and men aren't entering work. Many are leaving it (or at least, the way work has been organized). For decades, work has had a total grip on most people's lives because there have been so few alternatives to either working full time (often 50 or 60 hours a week, sometimes at two or more jobs), or not working at all and worrying about making ends meet. Instead of working to live, most of us have been living to work.Yet in recent months there's been something of a sea change. The so-called “quit rate” of workers voluntarily leaving their jobs has reached record levels. The labor-force participation rate (the percent of people of working age who are in the workforce) is remarkably low for this point in a recovery. More workers are on strike than at any comparable period in the last thirty years.As secretary of labor, I used to hear people complain that they needed more work or better pay. Now, I'm hearing lots of people say “I don't want to work this hard any more,” or “I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the rest of my life in this rat race,” or “They can't pay me enough to sacrifice my life like this,” or “I want to be in control of my life.”The GenZ's I teach are even more adamant about not devoting their lives to work. “Life is too short” — they tell me.The pandemic has surfaced many issues that have been smoldering for years -- mandatory overtime, stagnant wages, dangerous working conditions, insecure employment, employment discrimination, and lack of paid sick leave or paid family leave. It has also forced -- or allowed -- many people to reconsider what they want from work and from their lives.Donald Sull, Charles Sull, and Ben Zweig recently conducted a massive study of workplace data for the MIT Sloan Management Review, including more than a million Glassdoor reviews. What are employees complaining about at companies losing the most workers in this tsunami of resignations? Interestingly, not mainly pay. Complaints about pay ranked 16th of the issues that predict quits. The biggest predictor is a toxic culture – workplaces that fail to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion; that don't make workers feel respected and valued; and make them to feel insecure. No one likes to be underpaid. But it turns out people like disrespect and insecurity even less. When Australian researchers recently reviewed data on more than 1,000 workers, they discovered that working for a companies that “fail to reward or acknowledge their employees for hard work, impose unreasonable demands on workers, and do not give them autonomy” triples the odds that workers will suffer major depression. I'm no soothsayer, but as I look ahead I'm fairly certain we're going to see companies and nonprofits moving toward more flexible work, autonomous work, and mandatory limits on work hours. They have no choice if they want to recruit and retain reliable employees. We're also going to see far more self-employment, more people moving to locales around the country where housing is cheaper, and, in general, more of us seeking to simplify our lives.I also expect increasing demands for public policies that reduce the amount of time we have to spend working and give us more control of our own labor – such as a universal basic income, a ban on mandatory overtime, a shorter workweek, Medicare for all (de-coupling health insurance from work), paid sick leave and paid family leave, and more tax incentives for profit sharing and self-employment. We're not facing the end of work, but we are facing the end of work as we know it. It's about time.What do you think?PS: By the way, if you haven't had a chance to listen to my conversation with Michael Moore, we touched on what's happening to work and a variety of other issues related to power and the economy. It was great to catch up (and Mike even promised to do a TikTok collaboration with me in 2022). Enjoy: This is a public episode.

Kendiyle 1998 yılında tanışmıştık. Koç Holding, topluluk içindeki 90'dan fazla şirketi de kapsayan bir “iletişim süreç, yönetim, ölçümleme, raporlama modeli” oluşturmak istiyordu. Holding'in o dönemki Endüstriyel İlişkiler Başkanı Tuğrul Kudatgobilik ve Kurumsal İletişim Koordinatörü Can Çağdaş üç ajansı bir araya getirerek bu çalışmayı başlattılar: Salim Kadıbeşegil (Orsa), bendeniz (Bersay) ve de Selim Oktar (Strateji Mori)... Açıkça itiraf etmeliyim ki; dört yıl süren o dönemde, araştırma süreçleri, iletişim değerinin ve algılamanın ölçümlenmesi ile ilgili kritik bazı hususları öğrenmemde o çalışmanın ve Selim Oktar'ın etkisi olmuştur. Oktar'ı yıllar içinde yakından takip ettim. LSPR'da (London School of Public Relations) birlikte ders verdik. Kendisi StratejiCo. ajansının başkanı olarak çalışmalarını sürdürüyor. Sir Iain Vallence'ın “Ölçmüyorsan Yapma” sözü konusundaki ısrarımız bilinir... Ancak, her araştırmanın araştırma olmadığı da bir gerçek. O nedenle, metodolojisini, künyesini, ölçümleme kriterlerini vs. didik didik etmeden, yayınlanan her sonuca itibar etmemek lazım... Selim Oktar'ın adını bir araştırmanın künyesinde görmek ise orada doğru bir iş yapıldığına dair en önemli göstergelerden biridir... Diğeri de tabii ki Era Research&Consultancy... Fast Company dergisi tarafından Türkiye'de devreye sokulan Corporate Culture 100 araştırması, uzun yıllardır doğru çalışmalarla güvenilir sonuçlara eriştiğine tanıklık ettiğimiz Era Research&Consultancy tarafından yapılmış. Araştırma, ABD'de ise Massachusetts Institute of Technology'den Prof. Donald Sull ile Charlie Sull öncülüğünde yürütülüyormuş. 10 temel kriterin sorgulandığı araştırmaya bu yıl “Pandemi Koşullarına Uyum Sağlama” da eklenmiş. 10 kriter şöyle: Çeviklik, Takım Çalışması, Müşteri Odaklılık, Çeşitlilik/Kapsayıcılık, İcraat, Yenilikçilik/İnovasyon, Şeffaf ve Etik Yönetim, Sonuç Odaklılık, Saygı, Sosyal Şirket Yaklaşımı. Ankete katılanlara, her kriter için ‘En iyi ilk 3' şirket sorulmuş; verilen yanıtların ağırlığından ise 100 şirketlik ana liste oluşturulmuş. Buna göre ilk 10 şirket şöyle sıralanmış: 1. Koç Holding, 2. Arçelik, 3. Getir, 4. Trendyol, 5. LC Waikiki, 6. Turkcell, 7. Eczacıbaşı Holding, 8. İş Bankası, 9. Unilever, 10. Sabancı Holding... Bilindiği gibi Capital dergisi de “En beğenilen şirketler” araştırmasını her yıl yayınlar... Bundan böyle firmalar kurumsal itibarlarını diğer şirketlerle kıyaslayarak takip edecekleri yeni bir ‘kerteriz noktası' ile buluşmuş oldular. Hayırlı olsun diyelim...

Donald Sull is a global expert on strategy and execution in turbulent markets. He is a senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Kathleen Eisenhardt is the S. W. Ascherman Professor of Strategy at Stanford, a highly cited author, and the co-director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program. The are the authors of the new book "Simple Rules: How to Thrive in a Complex World." In this interview, we talk about the complexity that surrounds all of us, and how by developing a few simple yet effective rules, people can best even the most complex problems.
Imagine this...A financial genius spends his life developing a complex financial model with the intention of telling you what stocks to buy and sell, and when, in order to make the most money and minimize risk.You'd expect that model to out-perform a single rule that says something like "just split your money evenly between 20 stocks." Except, according to today's guest, Simple Rules co-author, Donald Sull, when that very experiment was run, the simple rule beat the expert every time.As amazing as technology and sophisticated systems are, they often end up performing no better than far simpler, yet often ignored simple answers.Same holds true for life. We spend so much time looking for the fancy methodologies, systems and technologies. We assume they've got to better than something that appears so simple. So we ignore the simple and waste tons of time and money building something that makes us feel better, but doesn't beat the easy answer. And that is a huge mistake.In this fascinating conversation, Sull draws on everything from his experience as a bouncer at a biker bar to his experience teaching entrepreneurship at Harvard and building and advising global brands to prove a simple point.With rare exception, from weight loss to wealth, simple always wins.If you've been feeling overwhelmed with complex problems, take a deep breath and listen to this episode.Links we mention:Simple RulesHoward StevensonHarry MarkowitzFollow Don:Website | Twitter | LinkedIn"Willpower is a reservoir, not a stream."
