MWPHE is fortunate to have a renowned speaker right here in New England. In this session, Suzanne Benoit, LCSW, SPHR, a leading expert on Toxic Employee bullying will help you to understand the difference between difficult and truly toxic coworkers; how they use informal power networks in the workplace; and what you can do to keep from being targeted. Understanding these dynamics are essential to mounting a plan to reverse negative tactics. In the end, there is only so much you can control.
Ms Benoit will also cover how to increase your satisfaction at work even when there is chaos around you. Workshop activities will include large group discussions, providing technical information to the group and at least one small group activity to practice strategy development.
