Organising and recruiting
Tips and resources to improve organising and support active member recruitment
Organising
Organising is the process of building and maintaining a strong and functional union. It is how we provide essential support and build the power necessary to deliver big wins on the issues that matter most to members.
Successful organising relies on a set of tools and techniques like the ‘anger-hope-action’ conversation, workplace mapping, and leader identification.
When applied in a strategic plan to win, these techniques can grow the union and build member confidence, participation, activism and leadership – shifting the balance of power towards members to achieve meaningful wins.
Recruiting
UNISON is proud to be member led. The more of us there are, the louder our voice and the stronger we are in defence of each other and in improving our lives at work.
That’s why member recruitment is such an important part of our work. We know from experience the best people to recruit new members are their colleagues – people they know and trust. You can help build a stronger UNISON in your workplace by asking a colleague to join.
You’ll find advice and guidance in our Organising to Win guides. And to get started straight away, log in to MyUNISON and download your personal QR code recruitment materials, and ask a colleague to join today.
