GOOD JUDGMENT

Structure that isn’t stifling

Debbie Markowitz believes in giving team members the proper context, such as the larger business objectives behind a project, to inform their decision-making processes. “I encourage my team to take problem-solving as far as they can, and then to quickly ask for help to remove blockers,” the Spring Health CFO said. “When you provide a challenging growth opportunity, it’s also important to remind your teams that they can take risks, ask for help, make mistakes and even fail — as long as they have the key knowledge to continue their development.”

Leadership starts with building the right team to actualize the company’s vision.

DEI SUPPORT

Bring your authentic self to work

A founding member of the LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group “OutSpring,” LeMari Porter appreciates Spring Health’s commitment to creating spaces for employees to not only be heard, but to step up and take the lead. “I’ve never had the chance to work somewhere where I can actively see the foundational parts of an organization grow and feel like I can jump in,” he said. “Leadership’s commitment to organic, internal growth — seeing not only resources, but executive sponsorship for these growth opportunities — has been crucial in their continued success.”

There aren’t a lot of people who look like me in mental health. I wanted to change that.

GEEK SQUAD

Pocket protectors welcome

No swirlies here. Director of Revenue Operations Manas Kulkarni has nothing but affection for his erudite colleagues. “I recently described my teammates as ‘joyful, committed nerds,’ and I meant every word!” Kulkarni said. “Everyone I’ve met has a personal reason why they’re working at Spring Health and cares not only about getting the work done, but doing it well. When I tell friends and family about Spring Health, the most consistent reaction I get is: ‘It’s awesome that you get to work on something you actually care about.’”

This is the first time I’ve felt so personally connected to a mission. Even on frustrating or long days, it’s helpful to remember what we’re trying to achieve.
