The pandemic has impacted almost every aspect of life, the workplace being no exception. As part of an international research effort to examine the effect of the pandemic on workplaces, researchers at York University's Global Labour Research Centre collected data from faculty and staff members (voluntarily) to better understand the impact of the pandemic on employee productivity, mental health, and overall well-being as well as examine shifting trends in employee wants and needs. The objective of this project was to visualize the aggregate data, which was compiled into a report, in a way that was accurate but also digestible. ‍

In collaboration with Ingrid Wong and York University's Department of Design, a series of charts were produced and approved by the GLRC. The selection of bar and pie charts help present the data in clear and concise way, while the chart colours align with the university's branding and identity. A website was then developed to organize and highlight these charts along with additional content for added context. The final website features five pages, one for each section of the report, as well as a general homepage to explain the nature of the research study. One of the goals was to create an experience that felt engaging and fresh, which led to the implementation of both vertical and horizontal scrolling. The page layouts include ample margins and padding to reduce visual clutter, and a clear navigation was implemented to guide the reader seamlessly through the report.
