Diversity issues - Engineer Health Catalyst Employee Review

Thank you for sharing this difficult feedback. I have read and reread it many times, and I am very saddened to read of your experiences and of the negative impact that some team members' lack of appreciation for the need for our efforts in diversity, equity and inclusion has had on you as a team member of color at Health Catalyst. I have shared your comments with several other leaders at Health Catalyst, and just yesterday I participated in a discussion with the leadership of the "Shades" Affinity Group (the affinity group focused on enabling improvement in the experience of team members of color) at Health Catalyst, during our quarterly steering committee meeting, where we discussed your review and feedback, and what we can do to make accelerated progress here. One element I shared with the leaders of this affinity group is my personal commitment to meet, 1:1, with every teammate of color at Health Catalyst, in 2021, and listen to their experiences, both positive and negative, to more deeply understand what's going well and where we need to improve. I'm also in these 1:1 sessions striving to get to know each of these teammates such that I could be in a position to be an effective reference for these teammates when they see a promotion opportunity at Health Catalyst that they'd like to pursue. I'm also asking each of these teammates to please reach out to me and to Linda Llewelyn, our Chief People Officer, and Trudy Sullivan, our Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, if they have an experience in the future that is negative related to diversity issues, so that we can understand and then work to address the issue. I will keep working on moderating the anonymous feedback that comes in, with a consistent message of support for our teammates of color, as well as for our teammates in every other subsegment of our population at Health Catalyst. I will continue to emphasize, at the first of every All Team Member meeting, including today's meeting, "Why we Should be Kind to One Another" because we recognize that what we know about another person's experience is only a small fraction of their actual life's experience, and we live our values of humility and respect when we recognize this and then choose to be kind in our words and actions. Finally, would you be open to visiting 1:1 with me, so I can better understand if there is more I could be doing to provide strong support to our teammates of color? That is my desire, and if there's more I could be doing that I'm not doing, I'd love to understand it and then take action. We may have already met 1:1, as I've conducted dozens of skip-level 1:1s thus far this year with teammates of color, but even if we have, I'd welcome the chance to visit again, or if we haven't yet visited, I already have a goal to visit, and it would be great to connect soon if possible. You can reach out to me directly via email or reach out to my assistant, Jenn Howard, to set up time. I've shared with Jenn that this is a priority. Thank you again for this feedback. I am committed to making accelerated progress here. Best, Dan
