Association professionals face a unique set of stressors. It often seems that there’s more work than there is time. Sometimes expenses exceed income. Difficulties managing member engagement, event coordination, technological glitches, and the ever-present challenge of continually adding value only add to stress levels.
Worst of all, these problems are exacerbated by disjointed systems and repetitive tasks eating up staff members’ time and leading to a perfect storm of frustration.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. With Impexium, you can integrate marketing and financial tools into a single AMS platform to increase productivity, streamline workflow, and reduce overall staff-member stress.
Let’s take a look at how it works.
While the sources of staff frustration can vary from one association to the next, we have discovered over the years that there are three common pain points most staff members share.
Stand-alone data sets with limited avenues for access and analysis across staff roles and departments can lead to incredibly convoluted systems and processes for getting things done.
Associations with siloed data likely grapple with the following frustrations:
Each of these circumstances creates a roadblock to association staff members’ overall efficiency, effectiveness, and enjoyment in their job.
Nobody likes busy work. Just as we dreaded filling in tedious worksheets when we were in school, we loathe manually entering data and managing convoluted workflows. Worst still, these sorts of systems open the door for human error to creep in, further gumming up the works.
Fortunately, at this point, advanced software applications and finely-tuned automation tools have eliminated most manual data entry for associations. But if your association has not availed itself of the latest technology, your staff is still suffering.
Redundant, time-consuming tasks are some of the last enjoyable aspects of an association staff member’s job.
Such tasks include:
Anything you could do to reduce—or, better yet, eliminate—such tasks would greatly lower staff members’ stress levels and increase their overall satisfaction with their positions—not to mention their productivity.
Impexium’s association management software (AMS) empowers associations to focus on what matters most—your constituents. We help you streamline operations, reduce development costs, and improve business outcomes.
When staff members lack big-picture access to complete data sets, are required to manage inefficient systems, or find their time eaten up with boring, repetitive tasks, they understandably experience decreased levels of morale and job satisfaction.When this happens, your entire association will suffer from reduced productivity and increased turnover rates.
Thankfully, there’s a clear path forward. Technology can strengthen culture, foster engagement, and create a more fulfilling experience for both employees and members. Make the Connection That Matters, Use Technology to Build Culture eBook (impexium.com)
