Summary

On the first day of a new job, we all cross our fingers hoping for supportive co-workers and empathetic managers, but the fact of the matter is that a positive office environment takes work– and not everyone is prepared to do it. Our guest today is Dr. Ben Michaelis, a clinical psychologist who has seen it all when it comes to the workplace. Dr. Michaelis coaches both individuals and teams in an effort to strengthen a company’s office culture. In this episode, he is going to share what sets positive work environments apart from toxic ones and how we can build a company culture that we’re glad to be a part of.
