The hidden cost of toxic employees
Description
One of the most pressing challenges for human resources, in the current professional climate, is the hidden cost of toxic employees. Research shows that toxic employees cost the global economy nearly a trillion dollars annually, suggesting it is more valuable to avoid hiring one toxic worker than it is to hire several superstar performers.
In this special live-stream discussion, produced in partnership with Peter Berry Consultancy, HR Leader will explore the distinction between incompetent employees, who leave work for others, and toxic employees, who create additional work, and how leaders and managers can differentiate between these behaviours; why businesses must implement systemic changes in hiring and promotion processes to prioritise avoiding toxicity; why personality assessments are a key solution, but many businesses use them late in the hiring process or not at all, often due to cost concerns; and more!
