THE CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGE
The Work-Life Knowledge Service is an open, multilingual digital platform that brings together data, insights, and publications about Finnish working life. While the service offered a valuable source of information, the user experience was cluttered, static, and difficult to navigate. Our challenge was to redesign the service to make the content easier to find, more engaging, and more accessible for different user groups — from researchers to journalists and policy makers.
THE APPROACH
THE APPROACH
The redesign focused on improving structure, content discovery, and visual hierarchy without compromising the credibility and clarity of the service. Key improvements included:
Homepage Redesign: Introduced clearly segmented content blocks such as Current Topics, Most Read Articles of the Year, Latest Publications, and Upcoming Releases to better guide users to relevant content.
Content Design: Reorganized all content under clearly defined themes and sub-themes, helping users explore the site based on areas of interest rather than just the top-level menu.
Content Types & Navigation: Distinguished between two key content types — Analyses and Data. Analyses provide expert-written insight, while Data pages present interactive charts. All content was tagged with relevant themes, enabling organic browsing through tag-based navigation.
Visual & Brand Alignment: Applied and adapted the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health’s brand guidelines for trustworthy experience.
THE OUTCOME
THE OUTCOME
The updated Work-Life Knowledge Service presents occupational health data and insight in a more intuitive and engaging way. The thematic navigation, curated homepage content, and refined visual design help users quickly find relevant material, explore new perspectives, and make better use of interactive tools like chart filters and data downloads.
The redesign strengthened the service’s usability, increased content discoverability, and improved the overall perception of the platform as a trustworthy, modern knowledge source on Finnish work life.
