User-testing reports

HRIS carry out or commission user-testing to find out if newly developed information meets the needs of the target audience. Their views can then help us redraft the information to make it more appropriate.

You can get copies of the user-testing reports for studies we commissioned between 2008 and 2011 on this page.
