One advantage of working at Wayne State University (opens new window) is the Wellness Warriors program (opens new window). Its goal is the make healthier and happier employees by using the people and facilities we have to get them on a healthy lifestyle.

The program is a partnership between the Recreation and Fitness Center (opens new window) and Human Resources (opens new window). Previously information about Wellness Warriors could be found split between RFC and HR depending on who controlled what content. This was not user friendly at all so we completely re-evaluated the users needs and came up with a new navigation and information architecture that not only explained the program but showed real employees and their results.

The new site is consistent from a look standpoint with all the printed and email materials that has been presented to employees. It also shows off upcoming events and friendly faces, something the old site did not do very well. In addition to the design and navigation the content was shortened up and simplified for easy scanning.
