Well this a very important question that needs books, I will take on aspect which deals with employees who cannot communicate with each other and very sensitive to what others say. 

I will teach my staff the following rules:

- Repsect is the base of every conversation

- Follow the order: Listen-Think-Say

- Every opinion/ idea is good, but may not be best

- When you give your opinion on something or someone, never use the term: "You are... (for example: wrong)". Who ar e you to judge?. Use always the term: "I think you are wrong" 

- Give only Constructive criticism

- Show interest to the one who talks

- Never underestimate your colleagues

- use terms like "thank you", "sorry", "may I" more often

- ....

 

There is much to say about this issue.
