Case Study: Health Catalyst achieves high employee engagement and just 4% turnover with Motivosity

HealthCatalyst Uses Motivosity to Deliver True Employee Engagement

Health Catalyst, a healthcare analytics firm that supports more than 65 million patients, faced the challenge of maintaining a unified, high-performing culture during rapid growth—growing from roughly 200 to 400+ employees with many remote team members. To prevent communication breakdowns and siloing as roles specialized, Health Catalyst began using Motivosity in 2014 to strengthen cultural alignment and keep teams connected.

Health Catalyst deployed Motivosity’s recognition and engagement platform to drive cross-department appreciation, surface analytics on inter-team connections, and enable charitable giving via “Motivosity bucks.” The results included Gallup recognition as one of 40 Global Great Workplaces, 4% turnover versus a 10–20% industry average, 98% of employees receiving regular thanks, 15,292 appreciations in 12 months, increased employee referrals (about 40% of hires), and tangible ROI—demonstrating Motivosity’s role in sustaining engagement and retention.
