Design Challenge

There was a need for a platform where employees could be more socially active. However, human resources also needed to create a personalized database for its employees. The idea of Kolektif emerged in order to bring the priorities of the two sides together on a common platform. The employees would add special skills related to their job or personal interests to their profile and socialize at the same time. Thanks to this customized data, human resources employees would also be able to offer special activities, training, and personal development suggestions to each employee.

Research

We had workshops with our staff, human resources staff and managers to determine the needs and functions. We guided the scope studies with our workshop outputs. We conducted dashboard and social media design benchmarking research. We got meaningful insights with these researches and use them to creating personas, customer journey mappings. To evaluate our design and observed users behaviors, we ran several user testing.
