The human service field faces challenges in many areas including adequate fundraising,
retaining qualified staff, and implementing training programs for staff. In addition human service
professionals may have difficulty in the delivery of services for clients in rural areas. Technology
that includes software programs, computers, handheld devices, and resources from other
organizations allow professionals to meet the growing demands of the profession. Implementing
technology can allow human service professionals to address the challenges with technological
tools for a resolution and take control of the challenges with a head-on approach.
Challenges
Three issues that can affect the human service field are receiving adequate fundraising,
finding qualified staff, and offering services to individuals in rural areas. Fundraising is an
important aspect of many human service agencies because the agencies depend on the donations
to run their centers. However, some organizations may not know where to start fundraising, how
to keep their current donors, or how to gain new donors. Another fundraising issue is found when
centers are trying to keep track of their donor information for previous and upcoming events.
These organizations may also have difficulty transferring the information about donations in
reports that are shared with the stakeholders or board members.
Another issue is for human resources departments to find and retain qualified staff
members while lowering the employee turnover rate. The human resources departments are also
responsible for finding skill building and training programs for organization employees to
maintain their education level. High turnover rates and extra training programs can cost the
organization a large amount of money that could be spent elsewhere if these issues are solved.
