Health Catalyst Response
7yThank you for your encouraging words and for your constructive feedback as well. Thank you also for contributing to the company's mission for over three years. Your longer-term commitment to the company makes a difference. I share your vision that Health Catalyst can play an important role in enabling meaningful transformation in healthcare, both through our technology and our services. I also agree with your assessment that we have a lot of maturing to do across the company. We are trying to become more "courageously transparent" in dealing with performance issues (this is one reason we as a leadership team are considering adding "courageous" as a modifier to the operating principle of transparency, to emphasize that transparency is most critical in challenging situations, including when there is a performance issue that needs to be addressed, and often requires courage). We also continue to try to think carefully about benefitting from the team-based mindset and bonus infrastructure, while also having ways to recognize extraordinary individual performance. Recognizing extraordinary individual performance has largely come through the promotion process and through off-cycle compensation adjustments. But there is likely more we can do there. I'll visit with Linda (our Chief People Officer) on this topic, and see what we can learn from other companies in this regard. Thank you for your feedback and for your contributions to the company's mission. Best, Dan
