Toxic masculinity in the workplace can be addressed by emphasizing the importance of respect and creating a supportive environment for both male and female colleagues. It's important to address inappropriate comments or behaviors when they occur, and encourage more positive forms of masculine behavior, such as empathy and collaboration. Additionally, organizing training sessions and discussions that focus specifically on gender-awareness can help foster an environment of understanding, inclusion, and respect.

It is important to recognize when male colleagues are engaging in toxic masculinity in the workplace and calling them out on it. One effective approach is to confront the behavior directly, pointing out that such actions are unacceptable and do not adhere to company policy. Additionally, provide specific examples of what actions should be taken instead so that everyone in the office understands what behavior is expected of them. Furthermore, encourage your male colleagues to reflect on their behavior and consider how it might be toxic or damaging to women within the workplace setting.
