Challenges and Struggles
- Limited manpower coupled with complex and voluminous certificate management
Due to constraints in human resources, the extensive management of paper-based documents not only increases administrative burdens but also contradicts the organization’s goals of achieving an environmentally friendly and sustainable internal administrative management environment.
- Innovative Volunteer Management
In traditional volunteer management, there have been challenges in effectively digitizing the management of volunteer data and relationship-building with volunteers. This includes volunteer training, enhancing volunteer engagement, addressing ghost volunteers, and overcoming difficulties in mobilizing manpower.
- Inability to systematically track corporate sponsors and resource management
When assisting companies in hosting internal ESG-related training, the alliance identified a lack of effective systems for digitizing the management of sponsors and corporate relationships. This has impacted the efficiency of resource utilization within the organization and made it more challenging to maintain relationships with sponsors.
