There are a few ways to think about this question.

On one hand, Sociometri is for anyone responsible for the safety culture of an organization. That could be anyone at any level of the organization, but is often Safety Managers or other Safety / HSE professionals, team leaders, supervisors, managers, and anyone else responsible for shaping the culture of the org.

On the other hand, Sociometri is really for front-line workers. Meaning, the people who actually do the work that accomplishes the operations that provide value to a company.

So, for example, in aviation these are people such as pilots, mechanics, ramp agents, baggage handlers, air traffic controllers, dispatchers, operations center workers, etc. The roles and operations vary by company and industry, but the point is that Sociometri’s focus is improving safety culture and ultimately improving the working conditions for front-line workers, enabling them to do their jobs safely and effectively every day, which in turn makes the entire operation able to operate safely.

Our job at Sociometri is to listen to the voice of the front-line workers in your company, and reflect it back to Safety Managers and/or leadership teams to equip them with the data needed to make decisions that make their operations, and more importantly, their operators safer.

Any company with high-risk operations. Though our foundation is aviation, we also work with companies in other safety-critical industries like mining, energy, and maritime.

Socioemtri is particularly well-suited for companies with multiples locations, sites, projects, but we have also worked with companies as small as 30 people with a single location.

No. Sociometri is web-based, with no application download required. Your team can access Sociometri with any internet-connected device, using any browser.

Sociometri measures the 12 leading indicators, or preconditions, of accidents - also know as the “dirty dozen” human factors elements - identified by Gordon Dupont while at Transport Canada.

They include: Communication, Complacency, Fatigue, Stress, Teamwork, Distraction, Assertiveness, Awareness, Resources, Norms, Knowledge, and Pressure.

Great questions! For people unfamiliar to Sociology and Sociometry, this can seem like magic. We’d be happy to set up a call and walk you through how we do it if you are curious.

Yes! Sociometri is an excellent complement to an existing Safety Management System (SMS), whether it is a comprehensive 14 CFR Part 5 aviation SMS, a Safety Management System from another industry, or somewhere in between.

Human Factors Survey was our first safety tool, and where we first developed a valid and reliable instrument that measures the Dirty Dozen aviation human factors. We used many of the lessons learned from Human Factors Survey to create Sociometri, though Sociometri takes everything to the next level and provides additional capabilities not possible with Human Factors Survey.

When to incur the cost of safety is a divisive question - and it depends on your organization’s approach to safety. Do you invest in proactive tools like Sociometri that seek to prevent accidents and incidents, or do you (and your people) pay the price after the damage is done? Well, as they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and Sociometri prevents.

So, the answer is - it depends.

It depends on the complexity of your organization in terms of size, roles, locations, etc.

Our focus is on keeping people safe. We want to help teams prevent accidents and incidents by proactively improving their safety culture with Sociometri. In other words, we want this tool out there helping front-line workers be safer, and don’t want price to prevent that from happening.

Please reach out to us and we can give you quick estimate once we understand a bit about your organization and your unique needs.

Yes, data in Sociometri is kept anonymous. However, the participants are able to indicate things like their role, location, etc., which enables powerful data analysis and insights to be identified that are unique to your organization’s various cultures and sub-cultures.

Yes! It has to be. Every organization is unique, in structure and in culture, which requires a bespoke configuration in order to accurately measure and reflect its nuances.

Our first step in onboarding is to work together to thoroughly map your organizational cultures and sub-cultures to ensure we configure Sociometri to capture the data necessary for meaningful analysis and insights.

Minimal.

Our onboarding process involves 1-2 hours of conversations with us to ensure we understand your organization and have the information needed to configure Sociometri for you.

Once live, your front-line workers will need to dedicate 15-minutes per year to provide their input.

Sociometri deploys the Culture Checks and Pulse Checks automatically for you as configured during our onboarding - so there is no additional work required from you Safety team after the initial onboarding.

When the data from your front-line starts coming in, your safety team can spend as much or as little time as you’d like sorting, filtering, and analyzing it in our intuitive analysis tools. Or, you can simply refer to your Sociometri dashboard which has all the most relevant data and insights pre-populated for you.

You will receive notifications of any important observations from our safety analysis, as well as recommended solutions within Sociometi.

You will also be alerted to any noteworthy trends or changes in your data, so you don’t need to spend any extra time calculating summary statistics, determining if changes are significant, or if trends are meaningful or not. We’ve got you covered!
