    Kept Score?
    If you are experiencing over 7 different bad
    culture traits you are likely experiencing a bad
    culture but can be fixed, trust is key here.
    A Real Concern: If it is 15 you are likely
    experiencing a broken culture, if trust and
    management are key parts of your answers,
    consider tackling head on.
    If you are experiencing more than 20+, it is
    most likely a toxic culture. You definitely need
    external company wide help.

    How To Address These?
    • Speak to your HR team, highlight these traits and
    when you & team-mates have experienced them.
    • If comfortable, speak directly to your manager
    and call out bad behaviours & instance of these
    behaviours.
    • If you are uncomfortable with either steps, there
    are two options
    1/ Unfortunately it is likely time to look for a new
    role or
    2/ Ask Focus to contact your business
    completely anonymously with examples of issues
    & we will recommend ways to address these.
