Have you decided how to thank your long-standing, reliable volunteers for another year of great work? Just like employees, volunteers who show up and focus on their work are worth their weight in gold. Even if they don’t get paid, they take the job seriously. Did you know that one volunteer hour brings $32 in value to an organization? That's right. Just ask Volunteer Canada. Many volunteer projects rely on a specific time frame, such as helping at an event or getting a task done. You need to meet deadlines and shift to new tasks as the landscape changes. Experienced volunteers do that without missing a beat. If a volunteer struggles, take time for a candid conversation. Perhaps something has gone amiss at home or they’ve lost their groove. Getting them back on track pays off with everyone working more happily. A simple 'thank you' reminds volunteers how much you appreciate them. But you can always do more to ensure they return in 2024. https://buff.ly/44tK39v #ThursdayThoughts #VolunteersRock #ItTakesaTeam #Volunteers #Volunteering #Volunteerism #VolunteerPeterborough
