1 out of 5 employees say their place of work is very or somewhat toxic, according to a poll by the American Psychological Association (APA). The poll also found that those who reported working in a toxic environment were more than three times as likely as their counterparts in healthy workplaces to say that they “have experienced harm to their mental health” at work.  The APA’s poll found that 52 percent of people with toxic workplaces said they have experienced harm to their mental health at work, while 15 percent of those with healthy work environments said the same. In total, more than 1 in 5 workers — or 22 percent — said they have experienced harm to their mental health at work and 22 percent of employees said they have experienced workplace harassment over the past 12 months.
