Redesigning Orange HRM Dashboard: Driving Growth And Responsiveness.

Orange HRM is a HR software that simplifies your workflow, empowering your team and unlocking the potential of your people, from hiring to thriving. The existing dashboard experience was cluttered, visually noisy, and lacked hierarchy, making it difficult for HR managers and employees to quickly understand what needed their attention. My goal was to redesign the dashboard and knowledge hub into a cleaner, more human-centered experience, enabling users to access key information faster and complete tasks without friction.

THE PROBLEM

Based on the 10 user interviews and 18 user surveys, these were the problems and issues users encountered while making use of the dashboard

Poor Visual Hierachy and Navigation
The dashboard displayed too many elements without hierarchy, making it difficult for users to quickly identify important information. Users were forced to click around and search for basic features.
Poor Hierachy
Key HR functions were buried under unclear icons and inconsistent menu structure, forcing users to click around and search for basic features.
Low Information Visibility
Essential metrics like attendance, approvals, and employee insights were either hard to spot or poorly presented, slowing down decision-making and everyday HR workflows.

THE SOLUTION

Based on the 10 user interviews and 18 user surveys, these were the problems and issues users encountered while making use of the dashboard

Prioritize Visual Hierachy
The redesigned dashboard organizes information by importance, using spacing, typography, and card structure to guide the user's eye and make key metrics instantly recognizable.
Intuitive Navigation
The new layout streamlines access to essential HR functions with clearer labels, improved iconography, and a more logical menu structure, reducing unnecessary clicks and confusion.
Unified Platform
Critical data such as attendance, approvals, and employee insights is now displayed in focused, easy-to-read sections, helping HR users make faster decisions with minimal effort.

USER INTERVIEWS

I interviewed 3 HR who currently use Orange HRM. This helped me gain an in depth understanding of the participants’ behaviors and habits when they’re shopping either in person or online so I’m able to find effective ways to help fill their needs and achieve their goals.

Key Takeaways
Many participants said they find Orange HRM very cluttered and hard to navigate.
Content on the current website was displayed randomly with no clear structure making it difficult to understand what type of information is important.
All participants wanted to see imagery since there was no visual content leading to confusion regarding its true purpose.

“The current website feels overwhelming because they have too much information that’s not in the right order.”- Jewel (Participant)
