Thank you for your kind words and for sharing this feedback. Your description of your experience with your manager is an incredibly well-articulated framework for how we want every manager at Health Catalyst to behave. We will likely use your description in future training materials for managers. I'm thrilled and encouraged to hear of your experience on the platform team, which has been echoed by others as well. This is tremendously encouraging, and I appreciate the strong example that the Platform team sets, in many regards, for the broader company.
I also appreciate your comments about the need to improve clarity regarding career opportunities and career paths, particularly for individual contributors. I agree deeply with your perspective, and this has been an area of focus for us over the past 12 months, as it has become clear that if we're serious about keeping our commitment to offer a bright future to every team member, we needed more of a structured framework, and infrastructure, that would enable this bright future. This was the fundamental impetus behind the job leveling work we rolled out early in 2018. And I know the rollout wasn't perfect, and we're new at this as a company, but what feels encouraging is that the structure is now in place, to enable individual contributors to see, in concrete financial terms, along with concrete descriptions of expectations in order to qualify for promotions, what that career path might look like over a five or ten year period. As a result, I feel like this is a really important, meaningful step forward for us as a company. More work to do here, and we're working on more training, and ensuring that every team member has access to this career path data in a transparent way, but the infrastructure is now in place.
Finally, thank you for your contributions for these past >3 years at the company. When I think of where we were 3 years ago in terms of Platform capabilities, and where we are today, it's almost not believable. You contributed directly to this accelerated progress. This is so deeply meaningful and central to our company's overall success. Thank you for such meaningful contributions, and thank you for your encouraging words. They are really meaningful to me and to us as a Leadership Team. Best, Dan
