Project name: Logon

Students: Chelsea Hendra, Peter Nguyen, Hanfu TanYuwei Xia

Prize type: Best Creative Use of XD - tied

Amount: $500

LogOn is a platform designed to provide a streamlined way of reporting occupational violence (OV) and a way to track progress on those reports. Based on our research with front-line customer service staff, we have found out that most don't receive formal training for when and how to report OV. This has resulted in numerous unreported cases due to staff not knowing how to act or who to reach out to. With LogOn, workers will be able to send reports to trusted higher-ups and support services while being able to hold them accountable in tending to them.
