Organising the Workplace

• Help project a visible recruitment presence in targeted areas, including problem hot spots.
• Map potential membership across the University and work out areas where recruitment should be a priority.
• Inform members of local issues by updating branch web pages or the Facebook page, or by helping to prepare  draft news items.
• Prepare and analyse member surveys.
