#3 Top Time-Waster at a Volunteer Organisation: Attendance Tracking
Attendance Tracking
Many organisations we spoke with use a very manual way of taking attendance (such as pen-and-paper checklists). In fact, some volunteer managers have said that attendance tracking is such a tedious process that they sometimes do not even bother to do it at all!
However, it is important to improve your attendance tracking system, as this can do wonders to boost volunteer attendance and turnout rate. Therefore, we wrote this article just for you, to help you solve all your attendance tracking woes.
Problem:
Volunteer managers have to scramble around holding messy name lists, struggling to check off names on a piece of paper. They have difficulty tracking who did not show up and have to waste a lot of time and effort sending SMS messages, emails and calling up volunteers.
Solution:
Organisations can use apps to simplify their attendance taking process. There are many attendance tracking apps on the market out there. bantu Workspace is integrated with an attendance taking feature that is not just available on the web, but also mobile-optimised, so volunteer managers can easily track attendance with their mobile phones on the go.
