How to Make Volunteering Work for All Your EmployeesVolunteerMatch
On June 13, 2017, VolunteerMatch and Bright Funds teamed up to discuss how to create a multi-faceted corporate volunteer program to engage all employees.
You’ve just learned about technology options for your nonprofit, and you think, “Great, I’m so excited to get started! But wait—how can we start implementing within our current resources?” Engaging pro bono volunteers might be the right way to go!

Boston UXPA 2016 | What’s Worse: A Root Canal or Selecting Health InsuranceBecky Minervino
Why is selecting Health Insurance so painful? From the myriad of carrier choices to the endless amount of forms to the lack of transparency around what you’re are signing up for, the complexity around benefits selection is frustrating for both employees and employers. In order to make this process easier for everyone involved, Fidelity and BEAM set out to re-design this experience — taking an agile and collaborative approach to understanding how to make the process of selecting and managing health insurance better.
We'll talk about how we leveraged a variety of best practices and user-centered approaches to tackle this complex problem. This includes:
• Understanding the different constituents within the current Health Insurance experience: employees, employers, brokers and carriers;
• Our approach to understanding individual needs through interviews with benefits administrators across a variety of organizations;
• Distilling findings and incorporating design-sprints to arrive at “just enough” concepts en route to a full MVP;
• Validating concepts through prototyping and co-design with users to refine the experience;
• What worked well and what we are doing for the next phase of work.
So You Think You Know Engagement Strategy? CCMA2019Beth Saunders
What is engagement strategy? It’s the way you increase the depth of the relationship your members and customers (and other stakeholders, too!) have with your cooperative. Many organizations equate ad campaigns, blogs, discount programs, promotions, events and similar outreach and marketing activities with an engagement strategy. Yet there are important differences between the tactical programs and outreach you implement – and your engagement strategy. One important difference is: engagement strategy considers your members’ motivations and expectations and invites them to act in ways they prefer. Two years ago, Hanover Co-op recognized this. They we were often operating on auto-pilot: running programs yet feeling bogged down in the day-to-day and growing less rapidly than they wanted. Though they’ve been in business for over 80 years with 24,000 members and over $70 million in sales annually, they realized they were losing sight of the co-op’s longer-term vision, and of the varied customers who could help them get there.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

1. TOP 10 TIPS
TO CREATE A COMPELLING
VOLUNTEER POSTING
1. State your mission and briefly explain
what your organization does. Creating a
personal connection to your organization is
important from the volunteer’s perspective.
2. Determine your strategic priorities.
Think about both long term and short term
needs. Involving senior leadership and your
board will be critical. Identify key areas of
need. Think about what would be
appropriate to execute with a skilled
volunteer keeping in mind that not every
need should be a volunteer project.
4. Outline a discrete scope of work. List all
deliverables, and make sure what you’re
asking for is reasonable for an individual
volunteer to complete. Set an ideal project
timeline.
5. Make sure you have the necessary
prerequisites in place. It’s important to
sequence your project needs to avoid
backtracking. Determine internal capacity
to take on this project.
6. Describe the ideal candidate you want
to work with. Be explicit about specific skills
and level of experience required in a
volunteer. Outlining what you want will help
when you get to the vetting phase of
selecting a volunteer.
7. Define what success looks like. Setting
the right expectations at the outset
determines the success of the project.
8. Highlight the impact the volunteer will
create. Explain why this project is essential
for your organization, what benefits it will
provide, and what resources will be saved;
volunteers will be compelled to apply when
they understand the impact their work can
have.
9. Show the volunteer how they will
benefit. Articulate the experience you can
offer them and what they can learn. Show
them you know how to have fun while doing
amazing work!
10. Consider using a Trusted Provider.
Trusted Providers take the hassle out of
recruiting and managing a volunteer and
ensure that volunteer projects are set up for
success. To learn more visit Catchafire or
