Enterprise connectivity sets a higher standard for operational response in a crisis.
When the pandemic closed sites to non-essential workers, Shannex leadership needed to deploy directions to the front-line while maintaining a sense of connection and trust.
Employee App
In an employee base this large, information needs to be timely, not passed from one person to another – with a feedback loop built-in.
The use of iTacit was a critical component of our COVID-19 response, It was imperative that every employee received correct information.

Challenges coordinating an effective, organization-wide response
While sites were closed to visitors and non-essential workers, Shannex leadership had to look to other channels to coordinate operational responses and protect more than 4,300 residents in retirement and long-term care communities. Operations teams alongside HR and Communication leads were tasked to initiate pandemic response and emergency communication teams.
Visible leadership and operational excellence – even during a crisis.
While iTacit doesn’t replace site-level communication from front-line managers, the platform connecting 5000 employees improves capacity to coordinate response in a crisis. iTacit is the primary channel for employees to check each day before coming to work. It ensures every team member is reached with clear, timely communication and has a direct line back to a leader with decision-making authority.
