Shannex needed a channel for clear, honest and timely communication to keep their 5000-plus team members informed and engaged as they work on the front lines
Workforce Communications
First and foremost, in order to protect our communities, we needed everyone to be focused on the jobs they had to do. I can’t imagine going through what we did without iTacit. It would have been extremely complicated.

Challenges with employee misinformation and need for a feedback loop
Shannex’s roster of 5000 employees is spread across senior living communities and sites. When faced with a health crisis, the goal was to communicate effectively and regularly so that no employee was left wondering or feeling uneasy. Just as critical was a feedback loop so that questions didn’t go unanswered. Connecting employees during this crisis was key to protecting 4,300 residents in retirement and long-term care.
A workforce communications approach built on trust and transparency
Shannex uses iTacit to reach team members on their mobile devices and shared terminals, always with a transparency-first approach. The team shares a daily bulletin and direct messages empowering individuals to ask questions and receive support. Clear, honest and timely communication keeps team members informed and engaged – so their healthcare workforce can focus on the jobs they have to do.
