Building Transform: A Case Study

Introduction

About Transform

At IslamicFamily, we faced a growing challenge. Our reliance on outdated systems and manual processes for client intake, case management, and reporting created a heavy administrative burden, consuming valuable staff time and hindering our ability to focus on client care.

“It was disheartening to see our dedicated social workers spending more time on paperwork than with the families who needed them.”

Our social workers were bogged down with paperwork, spending countless hours on manual data entry, form filling, and searching through physical files. This administrative burden left them with less time to dedicate to their primary role: providing essential support and guidance to vulnerable families.

“We knew we had to find a better way to support our staff and the families we serve.”

As leaders in the social services space, this challenge is all too familiar. The administrative burden not only diverts staff time away from client care but also contributes to staff burnout, reduces job satisfaction, and can hinder the organization's ability to effectively serve its clients. Studies show that administrative burden is a leading cause of burnout among social workers, and burnout can lead to high turnover rates, costing organizations valuable time and resources. In addition, inefficient processes can lead to errors, inconsistencies in data management, and difficulties in tracking client progress and outcomes. Without accurate and reliable data, it's impossible to make informed decisions about program development and resource allocation.
