A company in a state of significant instability - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso HIMSS

HIMSS historically has and still continues to struggle to identify more diverse revenue sources outside of its in-person events. This has only been amplified by the pandemic and their need to pivot to more digitally focused engagements, which within their current infrastructure they’re incapable of supporting. Further compounding the issue is the organization’s limited breadth of experience. The majority of HIMSS employees have been tenured for more than ten years, resulting in highly proprietary knowledge, complacency, and worse, an inability to innovate. This is ironic, considering the company’s vision promotes “reform” for digital health. HIMSS has seen a significant amount of turnover—roughly 35% of its workforce left voluntarily in 2021. And, the small handful of layoffs, in early 2022, only dealt another damaging blow to the already distressed company. This, in part, is to blame on the c-suite’s inability to collectively agree upon and transparently communicate a roadmap for its product and services and a core set of priorities for the business. While HIMSS continues to ”reimagine” itself, determine how to pay its month's overdue bills, and its employees a fair market value, ambitious job seekers should take significant pause prior to actively considering a role here.
