Designing a Monitoring System for a Non-Profit
Imagine you are a consultant hired by a non-profit organization that sends social workers into the community to help at-risk youth. The organization's board is concerned about ensuring diligent effort, but they are also worried that traditional monitoring methods could damage the trust between social workers and their clients, as well as harm employee morale. Propose a comprehensive monitoring system for this organization. In your proposal, you must:
- Identify at least two distinct monitoring methods suitable for this context.
- Justify why each method is appropriate for the unique, often qualitative, nature of the work.
- Explain how your proposed system mitigates the potential negative consequences of monitoring, such as reduced morale or damaged client trust.
