The partnership between Worki and Tanner Health focuses on improving workforce operations while helping employees adapt to evolving AI-driven workplace changes.
Tanner Health is deploying Worki’s Career Amplifier platform to provide personalized career guidance and workforce support at scale. According to Worki, the system uses AI-enabled intake workflows to prepare counseling materials, generate follow-up plans and streamline employee career development processes.
The deployment also serves as the first operational rollout of Worki’s AI Workforce Unifying Infrastructure platform, designed to connect fragmented workforce systems and create AI-driven workforce support capabilities.
Worki stated that workforce data across healthcare organizations is often distributed across disconnected HR, scheduling, learning management, credentialing and workforce management platforms.
The company refers to this operational challenge as the “fragmentation tax,” which increases administrative complexity and limits workforce visibility.
Career Amplifier is designed to create a shared workforce intelligence layer that connects existing systems while surfacing internal career pathways and workforce development opportunities.
According to Worki, the platform is particularly relevant as healthcare organizations continue addressing workforce retention challenges, including nurse turnover rates averaging approximately 20% annually.
"We've spent years investing in our people and building programs to support their growth, but scaling that impact has been a challenge," said Jill Anelli, senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Tanner Health. "Worki lets us turn everything we know about our workforce into personalized, real-time guidance and supports our team as the work itself evolves."
Worki said Career Amplifier was also developed to support workforce evolution as AI adoption continues changing operational responsibilities across healthcare organizations.
The platform continuously updates employee skill profiles, identifies emerging competencies and connects workers with learning resources and adjacent career opportunities.
According to the company, the platform follows a “Conductor model,” where AI agents operate alongside healthcare professionals to support workflows rather than replace employees.
"Healthcare organizations are sitting on untapped workforce potential — the real challenge is orchestrating it," said Craig Allan Ahrens, chief executive officer and co-founder at Worki. "Career Amplifier shows what AI Workforce Unifying Infrastructure looks like in practice. It makes workforce data visible and actionable; deploys AI agents around HR and workforce tasks that support frontline worker engagement, efficiency and retention; and helps every employee evolve as AI changes how work gets done."
The partnership is also backed by Healthliant Ventures, Tanner Health’s venture arm, which recently co-led Worki’s pre-seed funding round.
According to the companies, the investment reflects increasing interest in AI workforce infrastructure solutions that improve workforce efficiency without replacing existing enterprise systems.
In addition to Career Amplifier, Worki’s broader platform includes workforce orchestration, AI agents and workforce intelligence capabilities designed to improve HR operations and workforce management at scale.
