The following is a collection of work from three years at Proliant. I was brought on to a small UX team to use my experience working on time management apps and dashboards, to help Proliant kick off those two new product initiatives.
While doing user experience product design at Proliant, one of my largest projects was the design and execution of a suite of dashboards. The Proliant HCM suite was deep and full of complex software. The goal of the dashboards was to wrap up relevant information for all levels of employees, and be stewards for a more efficient and enjoyable work day, by prioritizing product-specific information across the suite of software. So if a manager-level employee has timecards and payroll and expenses to deal with at the beginning of the week, he/she/they could check their dashboard and see what was needed to be done.
All of these dashboards were anchored by an overview dashboard. In many use cases, we found that if we made that dashboard an intuitive workhorse, it could be the hub for most employees throughout their days, and would solve a majority of daily needs. And if it didn't, the product-specific dashboards absolutely would.
Building on my time as the main designer on Paylocity's time management software, I was brought on to Proliant's time and labor management software called Readytime.
We began the project with the goal of creating a manager-facing timecard product first, along with administration controls. All features would be built for mobile use as well.
