We're a different kind of learning company.
Most workplace learning focuses on helping people know more. We're interested in helping people do more. Because when performance matters, knowledge alone isn't enough.
People need opportunities to practise. To experiment. To make mistakes safely. To build confidence before they encounter challenges in reality. That's why we create learning experiences that help people rehearse reality – that’s the Totem way.
Our mission
To help organisations close the gap between knowing and doing.
Every day, organisations invest significant time and money into learning. Yet many still struggle with inconsistent performance, low confidence and behaviours that don't change.
We believe the future of learning isn't more content. It's more opportunities to practise. That's why everything we create is designed to help people apply knowledge, refine behaviour and perform with confidence when it matters most.
What we believe
Knowledge alone isn't enough.
Learning only creates value when it changes what people do.
Practice builds confidence.
In tough situations, people default to their habits. Rehearsal creates stronger habits.
Technology is just a tool.
Whether we're using simulations, AI, immersive technology or digital learning, technology is never the goal. Better performance is.
OUR VALUES
Values
These values aren't a poster on a wall. They're how we show up in projects, conversations, and decisions - every day.
We ask why before we ask how – because we’re not here to deliver a thing, we’re here to solve the right problem.
We care deeply about what we build. From conversation flow to visual polish, we sweat the details that make experiences work.
We don’t nod along. We ask the tough questions and push for better – because that’s what partners do.
We’re not a vendor. We build with you, not just for you. Collaboration is baked into everything we do.
No mystery. No smoke and mirrors. From pricing to process, we believe trust starts with openness.
Life at Totem
We're curious. We're collaborative. We're creative. And we're always looking for better ways to help people learn, practise and grow.
But above all else, we love what we do, and we have fun doing it. At Totem you’ll find the brightest, funniest and most creative minds in the learning industry. Who are up for a challenge and a debate – whether that’s about learning or the latest Netflix series!
