Big Bold Youth Utilized Connecteam For Efficient Nonprofit Staff Management

We sat down with James Smith, director and founder of Big Bold Youth nonprofit educational organization, to discuss his experience using the Connecteam employee app for daily staff management and communication. Here’s what he had to say.

Key Takeaways:

The Challenge:

As a nonprofit organization and a community interest company, providing affordable and accessible drama activities for young people across the UK,  Big Bold Youth was up against the following challenges:

• A mix of employees and volunteers carrying out a variety of different roles
• Rapid scale from a few to dozens of employees with multiple shifts & different schedules
• A combination of multiple software solutions to manage different parts of the organization as they couldn’t find one software to suffice

The Solution:

• A budget solution with a fixed rate to accommodate a not-for-profit company
• One user-friendly app with access to everything under one roof to better manage the entire company
• In-app work chat and social network feed-like updates, instead of untrackable text messages, Whatsapp, or phone calls
• Internal & external access to the schedule from mobile to everyone in the team, both employees and staff managers
• Built-in friendly tutorials making the app quick and easy to use without training
• Automated checklists and forms to quickly share safety announcements in real-time

The Outcome:

• Time saving and ability to roll things out far quicker than doing it with a mix of different pieces of software
• Being able to do all the training and onboarding “in-house” – digitally, and quickly oversee the team learning progress
• Smooth and engaging team communication under one roof instead of jumping on phone calls or countless text messages
• Instant updates for all employees and volunteers in one place
• Improved internal communication under one roof instead countless phone calls, emails and text messages

We found Connecteam solving almost all the issues that we ever had! We would a 100% recommend Connecteam!
