The only thing you control is your attitude - Anonymous employee Health Catalyst Employee Review

Thank you for this review and for sharing this feedback. I see confirming patterns in other team member feedback, particularly the qualitative comments in the most recent Gallup survey. I concur with your hypotheses that the imperfect reorganization we implemented in July of 2017 put many team members in unfamiliar roles that a good number had not independently pursued or requested, and that this would very likely impact answers to the two Gallup questions you reference above. As we've discussed in ATM meetings and Q&A sessions, the first part of 2017 was very challenging for the company. The 3-month pause in our sales pipeline (the "Trump Pause") significantly impacted our ability to execute against the Operating Plan we had developed, and instead required us to make mid-year adjustments that had a ripple impact on many team members. I'm grateful we preserved team members' positions at the company, even during that rough patch, but we did need to reorganize and to respond to market demands for our products and services, some of which we didn't fully anticipate. I strongly hope that as the company continues its significant growth acceleration since Q1 of 2017 (including our record-breaking Q1 2018 that just closed!!), this growth will enable more flexibility for team members to move to positions that better align with their experience, their skillets and their interests. I also hope that the significant project we are completing around consistent job leveling across every job family and every function will enable hundreds of productive career-development discussions between team members and their managers, and provide a structure and framework for these discussions to be concrete and more clear in terms of understanding a 5-year career trajectory, with a better definition around educational and experiential requirements to qualify for promotion to the next job level. This will take a little time to really become a productive framework for each team member, but we are already seeing some encouraging signs that more career discussions are occurring than perhaps ever before in the company's history. I appreciate your patience and your willingness to work your way through some bumps in the road as we grow and develop and mature as a company. I acknowledge the validity of your feedback, and appreciate you sharing it, and would want to convey our sincere desire and effort to improve in the areas you've highlighted. Thank you again for your contributions to the company's mission. Best, Dan
