Recruitment: resources to help members recruit

We’re here to support members as they work to recruit for the union, because we know that we’re stronger together and more members means a stronger voice. We’ve developed a set of resources to help activists and members that highlight the benefits of joining the union.

Unions, making work better

We know that it can be hard to break the ice and get a conversation about joining the union going, so we’ve created some great sharable content which can get the ball rolling. You can download this video and share it either by email, on social media or – if you can – by posting it on your work’s intranet.

We also have a pocket leaflet which outlines why people should join the union. It highlights that by joining they’re ensuring better pay and benefits, a healthier and safer workplace and improved education and training opportunities.

Ambition, helping you to where you want to be

Since our rebrand we’ve been collating a wealth of resources for members and activists to promote the union.

On our Ambition page you can find Prospect and Bectu logo and social media packs, recruitment flyers and benefits leaflets, posters, calling cards, bunting, Word/PowerPoint and Publisher templates, and desktop calendars. We’re constantly updating it so it’s a great one stop shop for members to get whatever they need.

Talking about your union

Talking to colleagues is an essential skill for any rep. You may want to talk to a member about the great work the union is doing or talk to a non-member and get them to join and participate. The more members who join, the stronger your union is.

Check out our guide on talking about your union for some tips to help you get started.
