Research has shown that toxic cultures cost US companies almost $50 billion a year.
In fact, the toxic culture was the main attrition factor that led to thousands of people resigning from their jobs during the first six months of the Great Resignation.
Hostile work environments can be very stressful and can lead to decreased productivity and become a burden on workers’ mental health. Because of this, many people end up leaving a company and looking for better opportunities in other, friendlier places.
