The New YOUFactors Is Here: A Gamified Safety App for Real-World Impact

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new YOUFactors: a completely redesigned version of our digital safety app, now available to all users.

Built from the ground up, the new YOUFactors introduces a smarter, more engaging way to build safety habits that stick. It combines bite-sized learning, game mechanics, and behavior-based nudges to help teams reduce errors in the moments that matter most—whether on the job, at home, or on the road.

What is changing?

The new YOUFactors is a significant upgrade from the previous version. It introduces a fully redesigned interface, a gamified learning journey, and bite-sized content that fits naturally into the workday. With YOUFactors, safety training becomes more interactive, more personalized, and more likely to stick.

Key updates include:

• Short, purpose-driven sessions for better retention and daily practice
• Unlockable levels and progress tracking to structure the learning experience
• Mini-games, quizzes, and videos to keep content engaging
• Digital nudges that reinforce safe behaviors over time
• A mobile-first experience built for digital-native teams

The updated app draws on behavioral design principles like epic meaning, accomplishment, ownership, and curiosity, inspired by the Octalysis Framework for Gamification & Behavioral Design.

Why is YOUFactors making this change?

While most safety programs focus on procedures and equipment, 90% of workplace accidents are caused by human factors like fatigue, rushing, distraction, or complacency.

In other words: the real challenge is behavioral.

YOUFactors helps address this gap by:

• Making safety habitual, not just instructional
• Empowering users to recognize and respond to risky mental states
• Providing daily reinforcement through short challenges and nudges
• Creating an experience that’s easy to use, engaging, and backed by 30+ years of science

YOUFactors helps teams build safety reflexes that hold up under real-world pressure by making learning more consistent, rewarding, and relevant.

Try It for Yourself. Here’s Where to Begin

YOUFactors is available now on both major app stores:

Whether you're managing distributed teams, onboarding seasonal staff, or operating in high-risk environments, YOUFactors offers a scalable, mobile-first way to support safer behavior across the board.
