Dealing With Workplace Decadence

This course explores how complacency and self-interest can creep into modern workplaces — much like the decline seen in past civilisations. Participants will examine how entitlement culture and outrage-driven behaviour can derail decision-making, teamwork, and organisational growth.

Through practical examples and reflection exercises, managers and team leaders will learn how to rebuild accountability, address toxic dynamics, and drive meaningful cultural change. By defining “above-the-line” and “below-the-line” behaviours, teams can create a clear roadmap for restoring integrity and cohesion across all levels of the organisation.

Course Description

Restore focus, accountability, and purpose in your organisation

Every organisation goes through phases of growth, stagnation, and renewal — but when workplace decadence sets in, it can quietly undermine performance. When egos, entitlement, and personal interests take precedence over collective goals, productivity and morale suffer.

The Dealing with Workplace Decadence program by Preftrain helps leaders and teams identify behaviours that contribute to cultural decline and teaches how to re-align individuals with the organisation’s mission, values, and goals.
