There are conversations that can poison a work environment. They can be in the form of backstabbing to outright insults born of work frustration.
One way to ameliorate such a toxic environment is to create in a company a well-established feedback culture (FC).
Having a feedback culture is where a workplace is focused on honest feedback between employees, between employees and managers, and between managers and executives
But developing a feedback culture is not easy to grow and cultivate; it takes time and effort to develop.

People need happiness, satisfaction and to feel good in the place where they stay hours and hours. There is a need to feel accepted, respected and, why not, appreciated.
People are not, however, machines. That is a simple statement, but one that has not adhered to enough in some companies.
Therefore, creating a real feedback culture in a company must not just be based on improving productivity. It is also a way to facilitate wellness among employees. In fact, this should be the primary aim since wellness will lead to better productivity, and not the other way around.
According to HR-Evolutions "professional relationships can be the best and the worse of worlds, so it is essential to develop quality professional relationships."
If team cohesion is well established, a feedback culture is assured with all the benefits that this entails.
Through good orientation and with a conviction that this direction has many positives, this type of culture can be established.
It will take time, however, and follow-up to turn this culture into the natural way of life within the company to provide it with collective intelligence.
