Whether you are a fresh graduate excited about your first job or a seasoned employee looking for a fresh start, be on the lookout for unhealthy environments that may affect your work-life balance.

While it’s true you shouldn’t be too picky with job opportunities, today’s fast-paced business landscape calls for extra attention to work-life balance. A company with bad organisational culture is guaranteed to take its toll on employee motivation and mental health. We all know how a dreadful day at work can spill into our own time and affect us long-term. So there’s nothing wrong with being careful about where you send your job applications.

How do you steer clear of companies with toxic work environments while searching for job opportunities? You can always ask around for the inside scoop from contacts or friends. If this is not an option for you, read company reviews to know about their work culture, employee retention, and compensation packages.

Give yourself the best chance at securing work-life balance: Keep an eye out for these red flags that highly suggest bad organisational culture.

As job opportunities in Malaysia open up to a recovering workforce, the goal is to find employment in a company that you can happily work for.
