Why Orchid is Right for Labor
The following challenges face labor unions today:- To recruit, manage and serve members as individuals and as affiliate organizations. As these organizations grow, meeting these needs can become more challenging and costly without systems in place that are easy to apply, use and relevant to a broad range of tasks. The movement toward online services in this area is leaving many labor unions -- especially at the local level -- behind.
- The implementation of effective online systems can be complicated and overwhelming in this day of burgeoning technologies. Factor in online capabilities that allow organizations to conduct core business and advocacy via the internet and the choices become mind boggling.
- A slow adoption of online technologies due to resistence and lack of technical ability. Let's face it. Until recently, developing and maintaining a website has required special skills and knowledge that many small organizations cannot afford. In addition, only now are a large number of people using the web to access basic services.
