Sona and Signature Senior Lifestyle announce partnership

We’re excited to announce that Signature Senior Lifestyle has selected Sona as its end-to-end workforce management partner to bridge the gap between complex operations and a smooth employee experience.

Signature Senior Lifesytle sets a high bar for luxury care, but as any large-scale operator knows, maintaining that standard becomes a lot harder when your team’s data is trapped in different systems. To deliver a five-star resident experience, the people behind the care need more than just a rota – they need a system that works for them.

Signature’s leadership needed a partner that understood the ‘care DNA,’ the specific, often complex realities of managing people in this sector. By bringing onboarding, HR, scheduling and engagement into one unified platform, they are consolidating their tech and, most importantly, giving their home managers more time back to focus on their people.

Mel Grigg, Head of Projects at Signature, says:

“Signature is delighted to be working with Sona as we transform our employee journey. From the outset, several aspects of the product truly impressed us. First and foremost, Sona is sector-specific, which clearly demonstrates an understanding of and commitment to how the care sector operates.Signature has always aspired to achieve a single, joined-up view of employee data and from our initial conversations, it was evident that Sona could deliver this. From onboarding and HR, through rostering and labour management, to pay and employee engagement, the end-to-end capability is exactly what we were looking for.”

By putting real-time dashboards in the hands of managers and a simple, high-performance app in the pockets of their frontline staff, Signature is making their operations more resilient.

Mel adds:

“Our initial communications with home managers have been a great success. They were excited by the intuitive dashboards and reporting, with access to key information at the click of a button. This will undoubtedly enable them to manage and support our teams more efficiently. Coupled with the employee app, day-to-day roster management will become significantly easier."
