As we reflect on Q1 of this year, we are reminiscing on our first official all-company retreat. February brought the Axuall team together under the desert sun for in-person workshops, team building, and fun! Set against the beautiful backdrop of Scottsdale, Arizona, we traded our home offices for a chance to reconnect, recalibrate, and gear up for the year ahead.
Our theme for the week was “Same Mission, New Altitude.” While our core purpose of empowering healthcare systems with real-time provider data remains steadfast, we are officially entering a new phase of growth. The retreat was designed to help us navigate that higher altitude together.
The vision: Same mission. New altitude.
We kicked off the week by reaffirming why we do what we do. The mission hasn’t changed, but the scale at which we operate has. We spent our sessions discussing how to maintain our agility and culture while building the systems needed to achieve this higher level of performance.
To drive profitability, you need to shrink the time-to-fill and the time-to-start windows. You need data that doesn’t just tell you who a doctor is, but whether they are a good fit based on practice patterns, ties to the area, and other-data driven traits. This leads to a more robust outbound strategy and ultimately finding the right candidate in a shorter amount of time.
Strategy and Collaboration
We rolled up our sleeves as a team for several breakout sessions focused on our core objectives. Senior leaders hosted sessions that shed light on what’s to come from a product innovation perspective, and individual teams shared their takes on what operational improvements we can make to achieve our goals.
Keynote speaker, David Sandler, led us in a workshop that tested our teamwork skills and creativity, encouraging us to think outside of the box to solve problems at work.
Team Bonding Off the Clock
When we weren’t in sessions, we were taking full advantage of everything Scottsdale has to offer.
Looking Ahead
We left Scottsdale feeling energized and empowered to make an impact this year. As we returned to our desks all over the country, we carried that “new altitude” mindset with us. We are more aligned than ever and ready to tackle the challenges of the healthcare workforce with renewed energy.
Thank you to everyone who made this retreat possible.
