How might we design an innovative and comprehensive desktop and mobile platform that equips large organizations with the necessary tools and insights to measure, track, and mitigate burnout among their workforce?

Why

In response to the World Health Organization's recognition of Burnout as an occupational phenomenon, the Resiliency Program was born. As the product design lead, I recognized the significance of creating a comprehensive solution that encompasses all aspects of resilience. Our mission was to empower individuals and organizations with the tools they need to reduce burnout, enhance emotional well-being, and foster resilience in the face of challenges.

What

It is a transformative mobile and web platform, meticulously developed to combat burnout and foster well-being on a 360-degree scale. With a robust array of features, the program offers access to detailed insights and analytics, allowing individuals and organizations to track progress and measure program effectiveness. It encompasses a comprehensive psychometric evaluation, enabling individuals and organizations to measure and evaluate their unique resiliency levels.

How

The design for the Resiliency Program was rooted in empathy and evidence-based design principles. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, our mobile and web platform was crafted to deliver a seamless user experience, ensuring accessibility for all. Collaborating closely with nutritionists and wellness coaches, we curated personalized recommendations and solutions, tailored to address individual burnout symptoms. 

Making data-driven business decisions for a sustainable, resilient workforce.

We helped RP design it.

Design an innovative and comprehensive desktop and mobile platform that equips large organizations with the necessary tools and insights to measure, track, and mitigate burnout among their workforce. The platform should deliver a user-centered experience that seamlessly integrates into the organizational workflow, offering intuitive navigation, data visualization, and actionable recommendations.

The Challenge

Time Constraints

Six weeks to design and deliver entire product design for all platforms.

Business Constraints

Rigid Product Requirements -
The platform design must adhere to specific technical and functional requirements as defined by the client.

The Constraints

Large Scope - 
The platform's comprehensive nature demanded prioritization and efficient allocation of resources to cover all essential aspects.

The not-so-ideal 
Process

The project constraints led us to skip the first diamond involving user research, but jump directly to 'ideation' and 'implementation' to deliver the final product design.

Background: The Burnout Pandemic

Impact &
Current Stage

Cross-Team Collaboration Amplifies Success
Leading the Resiliency Program design project underscored the critical importance of fostering open communication and collaboration between designers and developers. Bridging the gap between these teams facilitated a cohesive understanding of design intentions, technical constraints, and implementation feasibility.

Quality Assurance and Usability Testing 
This project reinforced the fundamental role of quality assurance (QA) and usability testing in delivering a superior user experience. 

Key Learnings & Take-aways

Prioritize User-Centric Foundation
In future projects like the Resiliency Program, allocating time for thorough user research and usability testing before embarking on wire-framing and design phases would enhance the final product. 

Inclusive Feedback Loop
Establishing a consistent feedback loop with both the client and end-users during the design process would foster collaborative decision-making and allow us to align the design more closely with the organization's goals and user preferences, ultimately enhancing the platform's overall effectiveness.
