University of Exeter prioritises usability of a new HR system

University of Exeter chose Civica to put the electronic performance development (ePDR) system through usability testing. It was critical that the new system would meet the users’ needs to carry out performance assessments and record goals for personal development easily with minimal time spent.

We learned so much from the Civica engagement, we’re now confident about raising questions and asking for changes. That’s down to how well Civica explained the usability issues and the effectiveness of the solutions they recommended.
