1. Lack of transparency:
An organization which prioritizes clear communication allows their employees to grow, it in turn helps the organization to thrive. Workplace where conflicts are unaddressed leads to uncertainty and lack of trust within the employees. Lack of transparency can also lead to unclear objective of the organization. It leads to confusion with the given task which eventually affects the progress of the organization.

Organizations which do not value their employees and their mental health are the biggest red flags. Setting unrealistic targets and burdening employees with it. No frequent breaks with long working hours and unreasonable deadlines are some of the red flags you should definitely avoid. This hampers the motivation of your employees and eventually leads to burnout with the organization.
3. Ineffective Leadership:
Organizations that lack autonomy in their workplace are gatekeeping their employees from growth and are also harming the growth of the organization. Workplace where employers do not take accountability of their employees is the sign of ineffective leadership. Workplaces like these fail to provide safe space to their employees.

4. Unprofessional Conduct:
Organizations having unclear policies can be misleading to the employees. Organizations indirectly promoting discrimination based on caste ethnicity, and gender creates an unsafe environment for the team members and also hinders the flow of communication. Workplace should strictly have clear rules against harassment at workplace. Unprofessional favoritism within the organization spoils the relationship between employees and leads to low productivity. It also hampers inclusion and safety within the organization.
5. Lack of Acknowledgement:
Employers not appreciating the hardwork of employees is another huge red flag. To avoid this one must engage their team in motivating them. Employees must feel heard and their achievements must be rewarded by the employers from time to time.
