How AI Helped Us Better Assess Our Hospital Culture

In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Brianna and Phoebe walk through exactly how they used AI-powered culture surveys to assess their hospital culture, identify blind spots, and—most importantly—turn anonymous feedback into real, trust-building change. 

Rather than treating culture as a “gut feeling,” they share a practical, repeatable framework for measuring psychological safety, communication, leadership trust, and belonging—without overwhelming leaders or putting teams on the defensive. 

This episode is a behind-the-scenes case study of what worked, what surprised them, and how intentional follow-through transformed feedback into action. 

What we cover: 

• Why anonymous culture surveys matter (and when they’re most effective) 

• How AI helped identify trends without leaders spiraling emotionally 

• The key culture pillars they measured: 
  psychological safety, communication, leadership trust, belonging, and growth 

• How to structure survey questions that lead to honest, useful feedback 

• Turning survey data into clear priorities using AI 

• Why breakout discussions matter more than “solving the problem” 

• How small wins (like onboarding fixes and workflow clarity) build trust 

• What “corporate feel” actually meant to the team—and how leadership responded 

• Why follow-up surveys are the most important step in culture work 

• How consistency (not perfection) builds long-term trust with your team 

Key takeaway: 

Listening is only half the work. Culture improves when teams see their feedback taken seriously, reflected back, and acted on—over time.
