Lack of Data Monitoring

Different healthcare institutions were interviewed to understand how the management is dealing with employee retention and what actions they're taking to manage employee wellbeing. From the interviews, it was revealed that although many healthcare institutions offer wellness programs to employees, they do not monitor any data related to these programs.

Using a dashboard can include a steep learning curve for some users. Because of this, data visualization can potentially increase users' sense-making, allowing them to give focus on the overall message rather than the numbers (Perdana, Robb, & Rohde, 2018).

Insights from Interviews and Research

Insights from Interviews and Research

Based on the information gathered through interviews and research, the main design challenges are the following:

User

Data Overload and Complexity

Data Overload and Complexity

The dashboard deals with large amounts of data from the app, which can be overwhelming if not clearly presented. The dashboard should include straightforward navigation to prevent users from getting lost.

User

Problems with Integration with the App

Since the dashboard uses data from the employee app, there might be integration issues and cause delays in the relay of information.
