Soteria Policy
Soteria Policy is a full spectrum policy management service focused on comprehensive organizational policy solutions, customized to each individual organization based on their industry, organizational culture and strategy. Growing legislative and workforce changes make it challenging for organizations to maintain their policies and employee handbooks to comply with current requirements. Having outdated or misaligned policies increases an organization’s risk of litigation, financial loss or reputational loss any of which can be quite costly.
Soteria Policy assists by helping to develop policies, establish procedures and create training that helps guide your business, set employee expectations and meet your obligations for achieving and maintaining legislative compliance. We focus on those areas of greatest risk to an organization with particular emphasis in the following areas:
Organizations have legal and ethical obligations surrounding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information; the protection of personal information by appropriate safeguards; as well as access to information rights. We offer privacy program support to facilitate compliance, mitigate organizational risk, and build trust in organizational information practices, including:
- Privacy and information security policies and procedures
- Privacy awareness training
- Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs)
Human Resources ("HR") policies protect an entity from liabilities related to unfair employment practices (e.g. discrimination) or failure to meet obligations contained in federal and provincial laws and regulations (e.g. minimum wage and overtime policies). Additionally, providing employees with written HR policies can improve their job satisfaction and confidence. Our policy experts can help organizations draft HR policies and processes that support their ability to attract, develop and retain the talent needed to deliver on their services and strategic direction as well as decrease the risk associated with inadequate of failed internal processes or people systems including:
- Compensation structure, policies and practices
- Human rights compliance

All organizations, regardless of sector or size, are subject to laws and regulations enacted to protect the health and safety of workers. These laws and regulations set out the rights and duties of all workplace parties, as well as requirements for dealing with workplace hazards, and enforcement as needed. Soteria Policy can partner with you to ensure your policies and procedures are compliant, with particular focus on:
- Workplace violence
- Workplace harassment and discrimination
- Impairment in the workplace
Strong governance policies and practices provide the foundation for a high-performing organization and enable the leadership to effectively direct, motivate and control outcomes and operations.
