Improve productivity with an office volunteer - interactive workshop
Does your organisation have a volunteer supporting your team with office admin tasks?
In this workshop you will hear the experiences of office-based volunteers working in Hertfordshire charities, why they volunteer and what makes for a productive working relationship. We will have a facilitated discussion on how best to integrate an office-based volunteer into your organisation.
Chat GPT workshop - How it can improve your day to day efficiency
Could you be using Chat GPT to improve your day-to-day efficiency?
In this workshop we will explain briefly how Chat GPT works, what it does well and what to avoid using it for. You will then have the chance to try out Chat GPT for yourself, in a workshop facilitated by Jacquie Hime showing how it could be used for writing grant applications.

Feedback from Your workforce: Your future 2022
“Excellent. Probably the best ever. The theme of focussing on 2 of the the biggest issue facing charities, retention and staff wellbeing was a great idea. Breaking with the usual format really worked. Great speakers especially the Charity Recruitment Co. Useful to have time for questions scheduled in. Excellent- thanks.”
“Excellent event, it was well attended and the speakers were relevant to current trends”
“Great day - very informative. Lots of useful advise and resources to use for the future and to signpost other organisations”
Miriam Feehily
“It was very well organised and executed, with speakers covering a vast range of issues that the sector's workforce faces. Willow mentioned that the data for her section had all come from CEO's, and I think her insights into the why's and how's of the presented data were very informative.”
“I really enjoyed it today - just the right content, length and tone. Thank you!”
Jonathan Whitehead
“Very enjoyable and all presentations were excellent”
