Why your current roles and volunteer onboarding might be hitting a ceiling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all familiar with the onboarding dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A volunteer signs up, then you email them for an ID. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you realise you forgot to send the link for the induction meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you have to manually move them into the verified column in your spreadsheet or update their status in your CRM once they finally send that photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s disconnected, manual, frustrating and prone to error and missed opportunities. Just as importantly, it’s one more time barrier to engage with your volunteers; they get bored, they change their minds, and you lose them and their potential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a lot of chasing, and frankly, a lot of friction.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been listening to our power users, and it\u2019s clear: the way we manage the journey from “Interested” to “Active” needs to evolve. We\u2019re working on something that turns that zig-zag process into a straight line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more disconnected processes, no more time-consuming checks, just straightforward, integrated actions that take your volunteer journeys from step 1 to completion in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an eye on this space. “Roles” as you know them are about to get a lot more\u2026 fluid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
