What makes you most happy at work?Helping patients and getting paid
What are some of the best things about your team?Good people, hard workers, friendly
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?Transparency, information sharing, efficient group discussions, alignment on goals, objectives, & commitments
What would you improve about your company's interview process?Improving for more inclusion and objectivity, yet not been fully embraced by teams - as evidenced by how broad swath of teams are predominantly less diverse. Emphasis on "culture add" rather than "culture fit" remains process. Framework to see how people of color are less valued to counter biases.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?Don't only hire by employee referrals. Rather than rely on big data (satisfy quantitative bias), which provide answers to "what" questions, leadership needs to embrace mixed methods (qualitative data) to address "how" and "why" questions. Incentivize projects initiated from service perspective.
