Key Research Insights

We talked to people who had recently changed jobs in the pandemic. They felt isolated and lonely at their new remote job. What would have made a difference in their life? 



Reaching out to new coworkers felt nerve wracking and intimidating. They also worried that when they were called back into the office it would feel uncomfortable without relationships in place. 

How Might We...

 empower employee connection building by making the introduction process in the workplace an enjoyable and effortless experience?

Persona

Meet Sarah, a new employee at an animation studio. 

She's 32 years old and lives in Victoria, BC.

She wants to get to know her team and build genuine connections with her new coworkers through mutual interests. She feels socially isolated and intimidated at building new workplace relationships. 


Motivations 

  • Get to know my team 
  • Build relationships
  • Connect with coworkers  


Pain Points

  • Feeling socially isolated
  • Hard to build genuine connections with new coworkers 


With that in mind, we started working on the task flow.

Key Learning & Future Thinking

Key Learning


This was a rewarding and insightful experience where we learned how to collaborate with web developers.

I have worked with web developers before but this experience was more hands-on and more challenging as we only had 24hrs to complete the challenge.

At the end of the project, both teams (designers and developers) got to learn more about how things work for the other side and what to expect from each other.



Future Thinking


Some of the features that might be added in the future:

  • Consider adding a footer to the homepage
  • Build up a calendar
  • The ability to choose between matches
