“A resources sharing platform for employees learn from peers for personal growth.”

Start time

October 2018

Duration

6 weeks

Project type

A school project of UX Strategy to meet the needs of Instrument company's employees

Problem

Instrument hires the best people with solid skill sets, but they do not leverage the efficiency to help others grow and accomplish their expansion plans.

Solution

Create a resources platform for employees to form groups and identify internal and extranet events to leverage your skills with each other.

Objective

From the list of different user groups' needs, my primary focus was on providing a tool for employees to learn additional skills from peers and empower each other.Stakeholder needs and requirements 👉🏻

Exploration

Create a way for employees to join different types of groups to help them get more knowledge and encourage them to share useful resources

Involvement

Help employee time management about joining events. Allow employees to see if there is any novelty at their company more manageable.

Management

Help employee time management about joining events. The Instrument events are published by different interest groups so that employees can find the events' history as soon as possible. Allow employees to see if there is any novelty at their company more manageable.

Research & Competitors study

Meetup

Meetup brings people together in thousandas of cities to do more of what they want to do in life. It brings people together to do, explore, teach and learn.

Workplace

To help people in businesses connect and discover new ways of working. Groups are shared spaces for people to work together in teams, discuss common interests and share ideas.

Messenger

The Messenger web app interface shows the importance of providing a platform for employees to communicate and discuss what interested them based on their joined interest groups. So, I create "group chat" as a similar use case for employees better-communication.

Icon

I created a set of icons based on the Instrument design style, the clean, linear, and easy-to-read icons. It is designed to help users read quickly with the tiny things so that they can figure out what is easier for the next step.

Let’s Have a Try !

Use Case1 - Searching interest groups by keyword

As an engineer working in Instrument, I’d like to get some knowledge of Design to train my aesthetic and logical communication skills.

1.1 Landing Searching

1.2 Homepage Searching

Use Case2 - Interest group

As an employee, I want to organize my groups and view the detail to see if there are any coworkers I know. I’d be more interested in this group.

2.1 Group Overview

2.2 Group Detail

To help newcomers know more about this group and make it easier to choose to join or leave. The detail page of the interest group shows the organizer, introduction, group members, and photo gallery.

2.3 Group Chat

Use Case3 - Event

As a manager of the interest group, I need to post events to inform our group members.

Three days later, an event comes from GOOGLE; Alan Smith will come here to show us a Google illustration study guide.

3.1 Post Event

Each Event comes from different interest groups. The “UX Design” group will publish the Event. And all of the employees can see it on the homepage later.

3.2 View This Event

Each event's detail will be shown here. If some employees cannot attend in locale, as long as they click "join" on the website, all of the event sources can share with you. We don't need to worry about missing the events information anymore.

Design Process

Brainstorm with my classmates

Conclusion

This product helps employees at Instrument work more interestingly and communicate with each other in the group events process to improve employees' personal growth.
