How to Navigate a Toxic Work Environment

Bullies masquerading as girlbosses. Microaggressions from teammates. Managers who gaslight you when you make reasonable requests. There are countless ways in which a work environment can be toxic, and all of them can take a massive toll on your mental and physical health. So, how do you report these incidents? How do you find your way out of a toxic environment? And what are the steps you can take to survive until you’re able to put an exit strategy in place?

On Thursday, November 18, LMHQ’s November Women’s Breakfast will be tackling all of these questions and more.

Sophie Kleeman, a senior editor on Insider’s investigations team, is moderating a discussion with a panel of experts across industries who will share their lived experiences, lessons learned and recommendations for navigating your way through a toxic workplace. Speakers include:

• Erin Andersen, Career Transition Expert and Founder, Your Brand Networker
• Saira Gangji, Licensed Workplace Investigator and Founder, hrology
• Susanne Tedrick, Author of Women of Color in Tech

You’ll walk away feeling less alone and empowered to take the first steps toward a new, healthier work environment. The panel starts at 9 a.m.
