Needs Assessment for the Modernization of the Quality Management and Intranet Systems at the Senior Living Facility

Date 2026-07-20

Analysis and further development of the intranet to improve access to information and internal communication.

THE CHALLENGE

The biggest challenge was bringing together the perspectives of different professional groups and organizational levels. In addition, the analysis of existing structures and communication channels required careful coordination with employees in order to comprehensively capture and evaluate their diverse needs, expectations, and user experiences.

OUTCOMES

The results show that the intranet is a central component of daily work at the “Zum Heiligen Geist” senior living facility and is regularly used to obtain information. At the same time, areas for improvement were identified regarding the findability of documents, the clarity of the structure, the timeliness of content, and the search function. Employees would like a user-friendly, clearly structured, and bilingual intranet with up-to-date information and clearly defined responsibilities. The study thus provides valuable insights for the future development of the quality management system and internal communication.
