MEMO: ComVida Progress Update
Date: September 19, 2025

We’re now in our second full week of ComVida! Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the app, logged in, and started using it.

Between September 2–16, 2025, together we have:
• Filled 317 shifts across Menno Home, Hospital, and Apartments

Your participation and feedback have been instrumental in shaping improvements and making ComVida a success.

Your Feedback in Action

Based on your comments and questions, we’ve made the following improvements:

  • 30-minute priority window for shift offers that are for the next day to allow more time for staff on site to bid. This will be effective Friday September 19, 2025.
  • Clearer notifications: “You have been awarded a vacant shift” will now confirm successful applicants. This is in the title of the “Assignment Change” notification.

What’s Next

These changes are effective shortly, and we’ll continue to fine-tune the system as we go.

  • Blocks will be sent out using ComVida within the next couple of weeks.
  • Staffing will no longer call the units to offer OT. Staff must bid for OT through ComVida. Staffing will then award it based on the rules of the Collective Agreement.
  • After-hours nurses trained and preparing to use ComVida the week of September 22. No more manual phone calls (or limited calls).
  • Troubleshooting hints/tips are coming your way in a word document for you to save and reference.

Reminder

If you are not yet on ComVida, please contact your Manager as soon as possible for support.
