SafeMetrix by Safebridge is an online assessment platform created to help companies in the maritime industry make better crewing decisions using relevant industry and rank-specific data.
With an easy-to-use web-based, platform, SafeMetrix supports Crew Admins and Recruiters by providing them with a detailed assessment of seafarer’s soft and cognitive skills. It offers the ability to assign tests and collect data in order to generate individual and company level reports based on a scoring mechanism, which compares skills of the seafarer with a group of officers of the same rank category.
The integration of SafeMetrix into the crewing process provides substantial benefits to both companies and seafarers, into the following areas:
- Selection: Enhanced validity of interviews via preliminary screening
- Retention: Improved position adaptability and decreased turnover
- Promotion: Enhanced timely and transparent career development
- Training: Optimized training initiatives with targeted actions
The product was created in partnership with industry experts and the seafarers. Therefore, it is focused on delivering maritime, rank-specific psychometric assessments for the crews’ non-technical skills which are proved to affect the performance of a seafarer.
The important role of seafarers soft skills has been officially introduced since STCW Convention & Code 2010 Manila Amendments. These skills are increasingly important for both the wellbeing of the seafarer and the overall safety of the operations at sea.
