Shannex leadership builds employee trust during a crisis – one video receives almost 4000 views.
President Jason Shannon and the leadership team use iTacit to connect with the front-line during COVID-19.

Leadership visibility is important on any day of the week at Shannex, particularly for President and COO Jason Shannon. When COVID-19 closed the physical doors to non-essential visits, the senior management team went virtual with iTacit.

FRONT-LINE SUPPORT
When sites closed to non-essential workers, Shannex leadership needed another way to maintain visibility and trust with front-line teams.
Leadership visibility is a priority at Shannex, with each member of the senior leadership team typically spending time each week at the site-level with senior managers and front line team members. While sites were closed to visitors and non-essential workers, the leadership team needed an alternative channel to maintain visibility and trust with front-line teams.

Daily communication
Organization-wide video messages and daily messages keep channels open.
Videos to replace in-person visits by our leadership team are an example of how the Shannex leadership team flexed to maintain transparency and trust. Shannex president Jason Shannon sent organization-wide video messages to keep channels open and let front-line teams know leadership was standing behind them.
Results
Clear, honest and timely communication keeps Shannex’s 4,500-plus team members informed and engaged as they work on the front lines to protect more than 4,300 residents in retirement and long-term care communities across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario in response to COVID-19.
