FREEHOLD, NJ—goHappy, the leading expert in frontline employee engagement, announced earlier this week that it has partnered with Distinctive Living, the leader in bringing vitality and freshness to modern-day senior living to ensure the very best lives for every resident who joins them.

“We are incredibly excited for our partnership with Distinctive Living,” said Shawn Boyer, founder and CEO of goHappy. “Distinctive Living is an innovative leader in the senior living industry, driven by their commitment to caring for their nearly 3,000 team members on the frontline. This commitment is further evidenced by this partnership that allows them to include their frontline in all companywide announcements, messages and updates and to gather their feedback very easily on their mobile devices, allowing the company to implement actionable plans to increase the frontline’s engagement.”

With goHappy’s simple, app-free technology, Distinctive Living will increase engagement with their frontline employees and expand their ability to gather insightful feedback throughout the onboarding process.
