March 12, 2026 · Staffbase

  • A heuristic evaluation is an expert review method that diagnoses UX and structural issues in digital workplaces before they become costly.

  • It helps explain low engagement and weak self-service outcomes by identifying friction in navigation, findability, and task flow.

  • The result is a prioritized action plan that gives teams and stakeholders a shared language for practical improvements.
