Worki and Tanner Health Partner to Expand AI Workforce Support

Tanner Health is deploying Worki’s Career Amplifier as the first live expression of an orchestration layer that helps an evolving workforce with AI.

Worki, a healthcare workforce infrastructure company, announced a partnership with Tanner Health, a nonprofit regional healthcare provider serving west Georgia and east Alabama, to strengthen workforce operations and support employee retention, engagement, career mobility and skills evolution while reducing workforce anxiety with the evolving AI workforce.

Through the partnership, Tanner is deploying Worki’s Career Amplifier to deliver personalized career guidance at scale. Career Amplifier conducts AI-enabled intake, drafts session preparation materials and generates follow-up plans the counselor reviews and approves.

The deployment marks the first live expression of Worki’s broader vision: AI Workforce Unifying Infrastructure, a connective layer that sits in between existing systems, makes workforce data visible and actionable and creates AI agents around HR and workforce tasks that guide and support frontline worker engagement, efficiency and retention.

Talent data sits across separate HR, learning, scheduling, credentialing and workforce management platforms, making it difficult to view the organization holistically or deliver personalized support at scale. Worki refers to that compounding cost as the fragmentation tax: a hidden, mounting expense that limits workforce visibility, increases administrative burden and makes it difficult to deliver personalized support at scale. Career Amplifier closes the gap with a shared workforce intelligence layer that connects existing data and surfaces internal pathways, especially as nurse turnover continues to average 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.”

Career Amplifier is also designed to support employee evolution as AI changes how work gets done. The platform continuously updates skill profiles, surfaces emerging competencies and connects employees to learning resources and adjacent roles, giving every healthcare worker a credible path to upskill alongside the technology. The design principle is the Conductor model: AI agents work around and beneath the professional rather than in their place.

“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 supported by Healthliant Ventures, Tanner Health’s venture arm, which recently co-led Worki’s pre-seed funding round. Healthliant’s investment reflects the imperative for AI infrastructure that addresses workforce challenges without replacing existing systems.
