When managing drivers and ground logistics staff it is always a challenge to know exactly where they are or how long they will take to arrive.

Things are always changing in events… So what if we need to change something after it was sent via SMS? We’ve used tech to solve that problem.

Last week we made the most progress in mimicking the thought process behind recruitment / rostering.

We’ve been told that we’ve taken the security of INH Opportunities seriously and we agree with what they have to say!

The I Need Helpers’ Team has been pretty nerdy lately!

We’ve been reviewing the application behaviour of volunteers over the last 8 months, which has been pretty interesting – in a nerdy way! From the results, we’ve tested a new field in the application process, which we’ve had in place for the last three events. This field has seen a significant decrease in cancelation rates (something all volunteer programs will be presented with at some stage!).

We’re introducing a virtual currency to INH Opportunities… feedback from students has been great so far!

“[virtual currency helps].. shape user behavior, and increase use retention and engagement.”

We’ve introduced an exciting way to reward our students for their industry involvements and, combined with industry hours, give students priority for future positions (paid and voluntary)! ‘INH Points’ are accumulated through paid and volunteer involvements (1 shift = 5 INH Points) and can be exchanged for resources, tickets to INH run networking events and much much more!! It’s not only experience you will be receiving with us – it’s a community to help build your knowledge and to assist you in gaining future employment.
INH Points can also be purchased for $1 each; however, we are restricting purchases until we’ve distributed 10,000 INH Points to give those who are actively participating priority and to build the worth of the virtual currency.

The I Need Helpers’ team has our won in-built messaging system for INH Opportunities. Following tech trends for Y-Gen and the shift between email and instant messaging… we’re super excited to have just uploaded this change to our system.

Well, that’s not actually true, after upgrading our servers we will be starting a fresh on this section of the site!

This will not only allow us to include on trend and current information, but allow us to latest statistics from our involvement with the Victorian Major events sector.

We hope that you find this section of our site useful in the planning and engagement of episodic volunteers for the tourism and events sector of Australia. INH xxo
