Howspace for Trade Unions
Engage your members with flexible training and involvement opportunities that build a stronger, more connected union.
Trusted by over 50 unions
Trade unions must go beyond offering traditional services to create real value for their members.
Howspace helps you transform your union into an active community where every member feels heard, valued, and involved.
Train Your Members Effectively
Equip your members with the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles. From shop stewards to health and safety representatives, Howspace enables unions to deliver effective training that is accessible and relevant. Prepare your members for new legislation, collective agreements, or labour disputes with tailored training sessions that fit into their schedules.
Break Down Barriers to Participation
Participation shouldn’t be limited by location or time. With Howspace, you can engage members wherever they are, making it easy for them to contribute to discussions and decision-making processes. Use the platform’s blend of asynchronous and synchronous participation options to involve members on their terms, whether around their work shifts or family commitments.
Make Member Voices Heard
Many members feel that unions are distant and make decisions without consulting them. Howspace bridges this gap by making participation easy and transparent, ensuring members know they have real opportunities to be involved and influence decisions. By engaging through Howspace, you can actively shape the direction of your union and even reach influential positions, no matter the size of the organization.
Engage Members at Every Level
Active member involvement is key to a union’s success, but engaging everyone can be tough. Howspace simplifies this by offering multiple ways for members to participate, from local initiatives to national discussions.
Benefits for Unions
Cost-Effective
Optimize resources and member time with efficient, results-driven engagement. Howspace enables unions to progress effectively, even between meetings, with virtual and hybrid training and collaboration options.
Facilitates Cross-Organizational Collaboration
Support collaboration across different units and roles. Howspace’s user-friendly, browser-based platform allows easy participation from any device, promoting seamless interaction and cooperation.
Secure and Accessible
Howspace is built with accessibility and security in mind, providing a safe environment for all members to engage. With intelligent translation features for multi-language participation and ISO 27001:2013 certification, Howspace ensures that all members have an equal opportunity to participate.
What our customers say about us
“I need an environment where I can meet and communicate with members remotely. Doing this asynchronously is also very important; we don’t have to be online simultaneously, yet the information still flows and is accessible. In other words, without Howspace, I wouldn’t have easy access to members and activists all over Finland.”
Sanna Pihakivi, JHL’s Expert on Professional Activities, Education and Guidance
“With the help of Howspace, we were able to produce material that was distinctly different to anything we had done previously. In addition, we were able to make our values visible in our operations. The strategy work was a genuinely good example of what we always aim for, which is to be inclusive, listen to our members and meet their needs. This achievement will certainly be reflected in our operations in the future.”
Juha Makkonen, Development Manager at OAJ
“Howspace served its purpose perfectly. Online participation is demanding and requires courage, but the platform worked very well for us. Even during the last month, almost 70% the total number of participants were involved in the Howspace work”
Heini Hult-Miekkavaara, Senior Specialist (Career, Training and Competence Services) at YKA.
