Advent Calendar Turned into Security Training for Securitas

When employees are spread across the country, working at different times and often alone in the field, it placed high demands on how to succeed with training and engagement.

Securitas used Wittario to meet these challenges in a new way - first through a digital Christmas calendar, and later as an integrated part of the training at the Securitas School, their internal competence unit.

A leading player in security services

Securitas Norway is a leading player in security services with over 3000 employees distributed throughout the country.

With employees working around the clock, often alone and/or out in the field, it ia a continous challenge to keep training, motivation and internal culture alive, especially in hectic times like December.

Advent calendar that builds knowledge and Christmas cheer

To strengthen belonging and safety focus during the busy pre-Chrismas period, Securitas wanted to engage its employees with something new and motivating. The choice fell on a digital Advent calendar provided by Wittario.

Wittario's digital Advent calendar delivered a new tailor-made learning game every day, throughout December, developed to strengthen safety knowledge for Securitas employees, spiced with Christmas spirit.

Over 3000 employees were activated, engaged and inspired. Competitions with prizes craeted extra motivation and high participation throughout the month.

A solution that works in a complex workday

Securitas needed a simple and effective solution to reach the entire organization - across roles and locations.

Employees work in shifts, at different locations and in different roles, from operational security to technical positions and administration. Therefore, the solution had to be both flexible and low-threshold.

Wittario delivered:

Custom Advent Calendar: A new learning game every day in December.

Game Variant: Stationary games for unregistered users.

Competition: Gift certificate for the most engaged player.

Result: Full participation and further exploration of applications in training and the Securitas School.

We first tested Wittario's Christmas calendar in December, and quickly realized that we can use this platform for many other purposes, both as employees and in the Securitas School. We are looking forward to testing out new areas of use!

From one-off campaign to license - security training that lasts

The success of the Christmas calendar led to further collaboration.

Today, the Securitas School uses Wittario, Securitas' internal competence unit, as a permanent part of its training offerings. The Securitas School conducts over 60 guard training courses and approximately 300 internal and external courses annually.

Now they are developing their own learning games with the Wittario platform, adapted to different training needs - from basic security training to more advanced subject modules.

The courses are conducted without requiring a login, for unregistered users, which ensures data security.

Learning which works - regardless of time, place and role

Wittario has provided Securitas with a flexible and effective platform for learning, adapted to a varied workday and many different roles.

What started as an advent calendar has evolved into a valuable tool for security training and competence development.
