Reach out to trusted loved ones or a mental health professional for support. Take time to vent, process, and heal from your past work experience.
Sure, it can also be overwhelming and intimidating, but asking the right questions and doing your research while interviewing can help you avoid another toxic work environment. Once you’re ready to leave the old workplace behind and venture out to a new one, the interview process is a good opportunity to determine whether or not you’ll be a good fit for one another. Are there opportunities for growth here?.How is success measured at this company?.What are ways that this employer uplifts its employees?.Does this company’s values align with my own?.What does work/life balance mean to me?.When it comes to my career, what are my personal values?.Thinking this way now can help you land somewhere better in the future.Īnd, if you are beginning to pour over job listings, it can be helpful to ask these questions: Maybe you’re not in a situation right now where you can choose where you work based on values, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what they are. This is an excellent time to get to know what you value in an employer and what type of environment you are looking for. Maybe you’ve doubted your own abilities at times or even questioned your self-worth. If you’ve worked in a toxic environment, there’s a chance that it has affected your internal belief system. Understanding where you’ve been and where you’d like to go in your career can help ensure you won’t be stuck in a toxic workplace again. You know what else helps? Creating a solid plan that will help you to transition from this career into what’s next. As a mental health coach, I like to encourage my clients to take time to reflect on all that they’ve been through and the reasons they’ve taken this leap to help quiet the inner-critic and diminish self-doubt. It can feel nerve-wracking to take such a big step and you may even be asking yourself questions like, “What in the world was I thinking?” or “What if the next place is even worse?!” These are normal reactions to change. If you’ve found yourself in a toxic workplace and have made the decision to leave, congrats! Stepping away from an environment where you don’t feel valued or heard takes a heck of a lot of courage, so we’re here to talk about what comes next.
