Careyn

Innovation Designer

Sep 2017Jan 2018 · 4 mos · Utrecht, Netherlands · On-site

  • Our research team investigated why Careyn Utrecht struggled to attract Millennial nurses transitioning from internships or graduation into the workforce. Throughout the discovery and testing process, we uncovered several underlying factors and developed targeted recommendations.
  • Key findings included:
  • Insufficient internship onboarding, lowering the likelihood that interns would stay on as employees.
  • Recruitment efforts that did not effectively reach Millennial students (e.g., limited school partnerships and minimal social-media-driven hiring).
  • A significant gap between management and the work floor, negatively impacting retention.
  • Tested solution prototypes and delivered final recommendations supported by a thorough problem analysis.
