ABOUT US

Our Purpose

Our purpose started out as a quest to find a better way to deliver safety training for industrial and construction staff. We recognized that the current approach simply didn’t deliver results. Instead what it did was to just check a box for employers, transferring the responsibility for safety to the worker and reducing the employer’s liability.

Since then, we've evolved the solutions we created to fit many more aspects of workforce performance, and many more industries.  The factors we tap into to make workers safer are in fact the same ones that make workers more productive.


What do we mean by that?

Well, you have employees out in the field (or in your office) that have ZERO recollection of the safety information they were exposed to 18 months ago. Their recollection of the training you sent them to a couple of weeks ago is only slightly better.

Studies show that information retention from training caps out at about 15%, even just a few weeks after training. Was that information safety-related? Compliance? Related to procedures they don’t use regularly? You did your part: you sent them to training, right?

It doesn’t matter. You’re LIABLE! The “training course” model is no longer enough: courts won’t accept it, and neither should you. You sent them to training so that they could actually DO something with what they learned, right?

You may have sent your people to the necessary training, but when your exhausted employee plows his semi through a protester's blockade and mercilessly crushes that 24-year-old woman and her 5-month-old baby...
or your worker falls off a roof…
or your admin releases confidential information into the world…
or your partner opens that email attachment that compromises your whole network…

THE TRAINING DID NOT WORK!

This same principle applies in almost all training situations;
whether it’s safety, software, leadership, compliance, or even soft skills.

So we went looking. We found a better way to train people, 
but it required a complete re-think of how you deliver information and what you can achieve.

 

Here are the high points:
  • Our service delivers activities directly to the learner on their phone or computer for 2 minutes a day, every day.
  • There are no “courses” and no “tests.” Every activity checks competence AND confidence.
  • Activities are selected by an AI from a bank of content based on the user’s performance.
  • The content is developed by subject matter and training experts specifically for this new format. It’s completely unique, and revolutionary.

What we realized in putting this together was that while this system was way more powerful in terms of learning than anything else in the industry, the analytics we could pull from the system were even more transformative. With the user data generated in the system, we can predict a new form of behavioural risk. This will tell you who is at risk of doing what and provide inputs to your entire operations management plan, allowing you to optimize your risk profile. There is no other system that can do that.

So what does that mean for you and your business?

Whenever we build or buy training what we’re really talking about is risk. You train your people to shape their behaviour in a way that increases the likelihood of them doing what you and reduces the chances of them doing something you don’t want, or that could hurt them and your business.

Your current training approach doesn’t really protect you enough. Not in the new era of corporate liability, unsupervised work, and social risk. So your only option is to hire more safety officers, or tangle your team up in procedures and convoluted technical processes, right? That’s expensive and gets in the way of business.

Or at least it WAS your only option, until now. Soteria120 is the revolutionary risk optimization and training platform that can protect your business without strangling you with costs and hassles. Oh- and did we mention it would reduce your costs?

We have powerful analytics and in-line AI that can train your people, predict behavioural risk, and optimize it at the same time. We provide you with a level of business security that you can’t get anywhere else. We can start small, focusing in on one area of your business that you’re concerned with, or use the tool to detect weaknesses and opportunities across your operations. And we will do this all in just 120 seconds per day.

So our plans are to transform your industry with this tool. To provide you with a level of business security that you can’t get anywhere else. We can start small, focusing in on one area of your business that you’re concerned with, or use the tool to detect weaknesses and opportunities that your management consultant’s SWOT analysis will miss. And we plan to do this all in just 120 seconds per day.

What we’re offering is a risk management tool that masquerades as the most advanced, minimalist, low-friction training platform on the market. 

What we’re proposing is a modern system for the modern workforce; one that perfectly fits the new COVID-19 environment. 

What we’re promising is nothing short of transformational value.

We're excited to be using Soteria120's system.  I like that it will save me time and money while helping me connect with my team.  My employees have been testing it out already and they love it too!
