Recruit, retain, organise

As a union, it is crucial that we are always working to recruit new members and retain and organise the ones we have. Reps are at the forefront of this work.

Recruiting new members

Recruitment is vital. If Prospect doesn’t continually recruit new members it will not survive. Natural turnover, for example through retirement, means we have to recruit at every opportunity.

How to retain members

It is just as important to retain existing members. To achieve this, it is vital to keep in constant contact with members.

Organise in your workplace

You’ll notice that we often talk about recruitment and organisation in the same sentence. But what exactly does organising mean?
