Let's Break Up - Toxic Workplace Stories

Today we're going to be discussing a topic that affects many businesses, big or small - the impact of family-run or family-owned companies on the workplace environment. While family businesses can provide a strong sense of unity and support, they can also lead to toxic work environments if not managed properly.
Family dynamics can bring in a lot of emotional baggage, personal conflicts, and power struggles, which can spill over into the workplace and create a hostile work environment. Nepotism, favoritism, and lack of clear communication can all contribute to a toxic atmosphere.
In this video, we will be exploring the common challenges that arise in family-run businesses, and the steps that can be taken to prevent toxic work environments. We'll be talking Tayla who is sharing sharing real-life examples to give you a better understanding of the issue.
