The New Volunteer Work Force-Report

It is the time of the year when many people feel like giving their time to worthy causes. The problem can be that they don’t persist. Why is that? Many reasons are given but what is really going on?

An Australian report provides four reasons why volunteers actually leave. They are:
• Failing to Recognize Volunteers’ Contributions.
• Not Measuring the Value of Volunteers.
• Failing to Train and Invest in Volunteers and Staff.
• Failing to Provide Strong Leadership.

Read a synopsis of the report here.

Next Tuesday’s post will suggest some training strategies.
