Introduction
The future of work was already trending toward a more flexible model, and COVID accelerated that trend. A hybrid model means it is harder to facilitate a sense of connection and belonging; and intentionally get to know colleagues and feel part of a collective culture.
Background
Dispersed employees are having difficulty making connections and feeling a sense of belonging and a part of a collective culture. Employees have also voiced that they value accessible, inclusive and equitable connected ways of working in a hybrid model.
Problem Statement
Researching the Problem
Research Goal
Discover how to help women who are coping with anxiety and/or depression.
Research Methods
Literature Review: Read articles and journals that offer well researched studies
User Interview: Asked 7 potential users what would help them
Artifact Analysis: Tested 3 VR experiences related to calming anxiety and depression
Survey Results
User Survey
I created a 15 question survey for potential users (women ages 20-35 years old who suffer from anxiety and depression). It was conducted via a survey site and that lasted 20 minutes. I collected survey data from 10 participants.
Research Conclusion
There are many different resources available spread all over the internet. I wanted to create a site that would compile these resources to one place. Most of my survey participants stated that they like to workout when they started to feel anxious and others said being outside or near the sun.
Preliminary Literature Review Findings
80 percent of users wanted to make connections with other mothers working from home.
50 percent of users said they found it challenging to find time for themselves during the week.
30 percent of users found that maintaining friendships after having children was hard.
Ideation
With my group, we did a crazy 8 challenge and then voted on each idea to narrow it down to the direction we would take.
