at work is like creating a supportive space for everyone to grow, like tending to a garden. A toxic environment though, is like a place filled with negativity that can harm our mental health. We need open communication and support to address this toxicity and create a workplace where everyone feels valued, ready to face challenges, and can truly flourish, both personally and professionally. The aim is to create a workplace where employees feel valued, equipped to navigate challenges. 
arrangements contribute to a supportive ecosystem that values employees' mental and emotional health.
