Non-profit organisations can utilise their manpower, including staff, more effectively with better management of volunteers, a panel discussion heard on Thursday (Oct 29). These were some of the issues raised by five panellists in the virtual webinar titled "Re-imagining Singapore's Social Sector - Resilient and Future-Ready". The webinar was organised by a group of SMU students who conducted a sector-wide study on the challenges emerging in the sector and wrote up a report. The report highlighted the importance of building robust volunteer programmes and management systems. Ho Han Peng, Assistant Director at the Lien Centre for Innovation at SMU noted that the non-profit organisation sector in Singapore had grown over the years. He added that the new generation are more socially conscious and more willing to do work to make a social impact.
