Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback, and thank you for your more than eight years of dedication to our company.
Your commitment and perspective are incredibly valuable, and I’m grateful you took the time to share both the strengths you’ve experienced and the concerns you hold.
I'm glad to hear that our strong culture, business fundamentals, and renewed focus on core strengths are resonating with you. It's also encouraging to know that remote flexibility continues to be a positive aspect of your experience.
At the same time, I hear your concerns about strategic shifts, the volume and impact of acquisitions, and the pressure that reductions have placed on teams. These are not easy dynamics, and I want to acknowledge the very real strain they can create.
As I’ve shared in recent All Team Member communications, achieving sustainable, client-centered growth is crucial to maintaining our position as an independent, publicly traded company. I hope you’ll join our upcoming All Team Member Meeting, where I’ll share more about our company-wide stretch goals and how each of us plays a role in moving that vision forward.
You also raised meaningful points about compensation and how changes have been experienced by mid-career team members. In the past two years, we’ve prioritized meaningful base salary increases, even amid challenging conditions, and we will continue doing our best to make decisions that support both our people and our long-term sustainability. In December 2024, we provided core team members with a 5% above-market base salary increase, part of our broader commitment to offering pay that’s competitive with the market across core roles. This is a multi-year journey, but one we revisit and prioritize in every planning cycle.
While the uncertainty around workforce reductions is difficult, it is a reality most large organizations face as part of responsible annual planning.
If you’re open to it, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect 1:1 to hear more of your perspective. Your insights help us reflect, grow, and lead more effectively. I want to thank you again for sharing them and for the impact you continue to make as part of this team.
Best,
Dan Burton
