Volunteers: Does your company utilize and require volunteers?
If so, a key element to keeping, maintaining and sustaining volunteers is having an organized environment.
Many businesses operate with the advantage of incorporating volunteers, especially for fund raising and as support staff.
Many people like to volunteer and enjoy the feeling of making an overall difference or being part of something that they believe in that is bigger than themselves.
However, it is a struggle to consistently volunteer if the experience is unorganized, confusing and frustrating.
If you are not organized, you will continually be looking for people to volunteer, as your volunteers will come and go.
To keep and sustain your volunteer list, maintain an organized, easy experience, so that people will enjoy volunteering and will either stay on consistently or will be there when you need them!
Questions to Ponder:
Do you utilize volunteers in your business?
How is it set up?
Does the way it is set up create structure and organization that makes it easy for those volunteering or could it be improved?
Do you have easy to follow processes for the volunteers, so that it flows nicely?
Are you constantly looking for volunteers or do you sustain your volunteers?
