April 27, 2021We spend about two-thirds of our waking hours at work. If our work environments aren’t positive, supportive, people-focused and a place where folks enjoy being, we’re not giving our team members even a fighting chance at managing their stress and anxiety.
June 27, 2022In a conversation with Camara Chambers, the former ED of Volunteer Toronto, we cover how to think about your volunteer program, how to onboard your volunteers, and then how to manage and maintain them so that you are really leveraging their goodwill and supporting your organization.
July 25, 2022Volunteer Success is pleased to share this wonderful volunteer policy primer created by Volunteer Toronto. As this primer makes clear, and the Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement (CCVI) advocates, organizations should have an integrated human resource management approach that includes paid employees, students and volunteers. The Human Resources standard of the CCVI recommends that “most policies and practices apply equally to all people in the organization”, apart from some obvious exceptions such as compensation and recognition. COVID has motivated many of us to re-evaluate our policies, but as this resource states: “the world of volunteer engagement constantly evolves, and your structures should adapt as things change.” So what volunteer-specific policies should you have? And what kinds of revisions should you undertake?
