Implementation Best Practices for Launching SoterCoach

Watch the video: Implementation Best Practices.

Set Up for Success

A smooth SoterCoach launch starts with planning and engagement. These steps help ensure your program is well-received, effective, and sustainable across your workforce.

1. Position the Hub for Visibility

Place the SoterCoach Hub in a high-traffic, easily accessible area:

  • Near the time clock
  • In the break room
  • Or along a common entry/exit path

Set it up before launch day to build curiosity and buzz.

2. Post Educational Materials

Use Soter-provided posters and reference materials around the Hub. These support:

  • On-the-spot clarification of device beeps and feedback
  • Continuous worker education throughout the program

3. Test with Site Leaders First

Before rolling out to all staff, have site managers, shift leads, and other workplace influencers wear the device for a few days. This builds buy-in and helps leaders explain:

  • How it works
  • What workers should expect
  • The value of the program from firsthand experience

4. Host a Pre-Launch Toolbox Talk

Prepare a short kickoff presentation or safety talk covering:

  • Why the program matters: Emphasize injury prevention, safer movement, and staying pain-free at work and at home
  • How to wear the device correctly
  • The value of ergonomic insights for improving job design and reducing risk
