An insight that was uncovered during our user interviews in our study of CGweb, Capital Group’s intranet site, was that associates generally consume news on their phones. Because of this, it only makes sense that CGweb should have a mobile experience that would align with what associates are doing outside of work.
CGweb is a robust application that empowers associates to not only engage with Capital’s culture, but also do important things like log their time, adjust their benefits and compensation, and plan travel. While the desktop version has all of these functions, we will initially try for more of an MVP approach to the mobile app.
Before I could start working on the mobile experience, I had to streamline the navigation. There were a lot of redundant navigational elements on the desktop version, and elements that were at the top level nav that could have been placed in a footer.
