She has given TeamKinetic some amazing feedback relating to how they use TeamKinetic volunteer management over at UEL and why they continue to enjoy our service to this day.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Let the interview begin&#8230;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is your role at UEL?&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Civic Engagement and Volunteering Coordinator.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why did you start looking for volunteer management software?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;We began looking for volunteer management software because we wanted students to be able to apply for volunteering opportunities and allow organisations (providers) to be able to upload their volunteering opportunities as well. Also, we wanted a volunteer management system where students could log their volunteering hours.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How did you come across TeamKinetic?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;We found TeamKinetc volunteer management software&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">online<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;almost five years ago.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What benefits has TeamKinetic volunteer management provided for UEL?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;A lot to say the least. One of the key benefits of the system to our university is allowing students to browse through opportunities, apply\/join and log in their volunteering hours.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How was the implementation process of TeamKinetic?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;It was okay. We had a school visit from Steve, who talked about the benefits of the system and we were more than happy to proceed.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Does TeamKinetic meet the needs of the universities volunteering department and why?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Yes it does, although most things are done manually and we have to encourage students to log in their volunteering hours and open and reopen opportunities. But it is a nice platform to capture students volunteering.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How do students find using the software?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;Most students find using the software easy enough. Some students just need a little hand in logging their volunteering hours, but once they&#8217;ve been shown they seem to grasp using the system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On average how many opportunities do you advertise for students?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Over 60 sometimes more opportunities. This varies as opportunities open and close all the time. We advertise different kinds of roles that will support students to gain the skills and experiences they need for the real world of work.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are you satisfied with the training support from TeamKinetic?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;So far so good. I am hugely happy and satisfied with the online support from TeamKinetic.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Would you recommend other universities to get in touch with the TeamKinetic volunteer management?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;Definitely, I did so last term. Someone wanted to decide if they should go for TeamKinetics and I gave them the pros and cons of the system. The pros were far more than the cons.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any other comments?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;We have been using the platform for almost 5 years now and we have really enjoyed using it. Sometimes I feel somethings could be improved a little. However, one thing I have come to realise from looking at all kinds of different systems, is that there is no perfect volunteer management platform out there. I look forward to what TeamKinetic has to offer in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Again thank you soo much Aisha for honest and detailed feedback.&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want more information about how TeamKinetic\u2019s volunteer management software can help&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">you<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;and&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">your<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;organisation,&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">feel free to visit our website<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find us on social media:&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Twitter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamKineticUK\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/teamkinetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCtn9LmCnhskZVhJaV3r7Ckw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">YouTube<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. call us on 0161 914 5757, we\u2019re always happy to chat!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[559],"tags":[256,318,290,319,96,161,231,178,99,103],"class_list":["post-5076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","tag-teamkinetic-volunteer-management","tag-uel","tag-university","tag-volunteer-coordinator","tag-volunteer-management","tag-volunteer-management-software","tag-volunteer-management-software-uk","tag-volunteer-management-system","tag-volunteer-software","tag-volunteerkinetic"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Why TeamKinetic volunteer management? - TeamKinetic<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TeamKinetic volunteer management had the chance to speak with Civic Engagement and Volunteering Coordinator Aisha.
