"How does a company know when it's made the change or when it's achieved that? I often say to companies, it's when you're hearing the things you don't want to hear. It's when they're hearing things from their workers that they didn't think were happening, and they didn't think people were upset about or disappointed by. The proof of good culture is that people can feel issues are being raised. That we're talking about them, we're resolving them, and we move on. People are people, there will definitely be things that happen, it's impossible that it doesn't. So it's about how the workplace can support that."
