COVID-19 has drastically changed the whole world. From food shortages to problems in the healthcare sector, we’ve seen a wide range of problems since the start of the pandemic in 2020. In these challenging circumstances, NGOs play a vital role in helping individuals get their lives back on track.

Here's a few examples of how NGO's are adapting in an ever-changing pandemic era.  They are finding different ways to rise to the needs and demands placed on them during these turbulent times. 

Our world has become increasingly digitized, and this digital evolution didn’t just happen out of the blue. The digital revolution came about because we needed it. This stands true for almost all industries and organizations across the board, including social work.

Social work is one the most demanding fields, and in places like the US, where there is already a shortage of caseworkers, it’s crucial to bridge the gap between demand and supply using technology.

So, if you work for a government or human services organization, social services software is a must.

Here are a few benefits to consider…

Keeping data secure is a top priority for non-profits and there are several reasons for this.

Non-profits are usually associated with various donors, and the relationship a non-profit has with them is a sensitive one. Protecting their personal information therefore is a priority for any organization.  

Additionally, and most important, many non-profits in the human services field handle adults and juveniles in very vulnerable situations. Therefore, their personal information getting compromised or stolen is simply not acceptable. A breach of data would directly contradict the primary purpose of the non-profit, which is to protect the vulnerable.

Here are a few simple ways non-profits can secure their data.

If you work in a non-profit or head one, you’re probably well aware of how hectic things can get. From managing fundraising to juggling large numbers of cases at a time, there’s too much to do all the time, and you probably end up leaving things for the next day—pretty much every day.

If this has been happening for a while now and you have a backlog of epic proportions, it may be time to invest in a non-profit case management software.

But no two non-profit software are the same, so make sure you assess your organization’s needs well and pick a software solution that works best for you.  

Here’s how to go about it.  

Whether your organization is a nonprofit dealing with child welfare or your heading a governmental department for social services, you’re probably used to seeing your caseworkers drowning in paperwork and putting in extra hours to stay on top of everything.

FAMCare is a leader for agencies who want to improve how they manage their data and outcomes for our society's most vulnerable.  FAMCare is a social services software system that includes best practice data collection forms and workflow designed to optimize how a caseworker works with their clients each day. 

COVID-19 has affected the world and its societies at unprecedented levels. Ever since the first few cases were reported in the US, things have been spiraling out of the control for both governments and healthcare authorities alike.

A lot of families have lost their loved ones while others are dealing with the long-term side effects of the virus. It’s not as easy for them to adapt to the new normal that others are embracing.

This infographic simply details how you can use Case Management Software to help your agency optimize their case load.  We understand that your agency's success is tied to your ability to integrate best practices in everyday caseworker activities.  Casework isn't simple, but it can be easier, more efficient, therefore increasing your team’s productivity. This allows them to spend more time on what really matters, the client’s that they serve!

During this national crisis, child welfare agencies are struggling to balance their mission to protect children from abuse and neglect with their duty to protect their workforce. The vast majority of children involved in child welfare cases live at home. Parents are often ordered to participate in certain programs (or requested to do so voluntarily), while caseworkers make regular visits to check on the situation in the home.

Social workers across the country often ask us how we create the software products that have become the standard for the industry. The answer is…collaboration. Global Vision Technology designers and engineers are constantly collaborating with social work professionals to design and redesign the FAMCare suite of products now used by thousands of social workers in hundreds of diverse agencies. We are conducting an ongoing social work hackathon.
