Thank you for sharing your feedback. For nearly a decade, Health Catalyst has used Radford's salary survey data to inform and guide team member pay practices. Radford is a technology salary survey and as such, trends on the higher end of the compensation spectrum as compared to other reputable salary survey data, such as from Korn Ferry, Mercer, and Willis Towers Watson. Importantly, it's also the salary survey that includes job matching data for the vast majority of roles that Health Catalyst employs, which is critical. Radford data comprises hundreds of thousands of validated data inputs from companies across the globe that employ roles like Health Catalyst and, for those companies that participate and purchase its tool, is fully transparent in its methodology. This gives us great confidence that we are using the top source of compensation data available. While reported salary data from every viable source includes lag time, Radford reports updates quarterly. As an organization, we have made the decision to update salary ranges annually, which is a best practice. We have also made the commitment to work towards paying above-market, with a 65th percentile target, for all core team member positions, which represents nearly 90% of team members at Health Catalyst. I acknowledge, however, that we are not there yet, with every team member in every position, and we’ve shared that it will likely take us a few years to get to this level, but we are committed to doing so. This informed our decision as part of the 2024 planning cycle to provide core team members with an above-market 5% base salary increase in late 2024, with many core team members also receiving another increase to get them closer to the 65th percentile for their position. We have continued to prioritize base salary increases in the 2025 board-approved operating plan as well. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. -Dan Burton

Pros

Flexibility, great team members, commitment to fair salary

Cons

More layoff periods than I'm comfortable with. I understand layoffs are sometimes necessary; however, it starts to feel unsafe when they are frequent. They have been transparent with all their decisions so I appreciate that.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I truly appreciate your recognition of our flexibility, team culture, and commitment to fair compensation. It’s important to us that we continue to foster an environment where team members feel valued and supported. I also understand your concerns about the frequency of layoffs. As has been the case for a number of annual planning cycles over the past several years, there have been some team member reductions in certain areas, just as there have been areas of increased investment. This is a practice that occurs at most large, financially sustainable companies as part of their annual planning processes and is something we have consistently communicated as an expectation. And, in 2022 and 2023, we experienced sufficient slowing in our growth relative to our forecasts that we required a mid-year cost reduction, in addition to the annual planning cycle, which involved some team member reductions. I’m grateful that we did not require this additional mid-year reduction in 2024, and we don’t anticipate a mid-year required reduction in 2025 either. That said, I recognize that even with transparency, these changes can feel unsettling. While these decisions are never easy, we remain committed to communicating openly, providing support—including generous severance—and ensuring that our long-term approach strengthens both the organization and the individuals who contribute to it. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue striving for improvement, and I appreciate your candid perspective. I hope you’ll find continued success and growth with us at Health Catalyst. Best, Dan Burton
