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.
