December 2010 Everyone Ready Topic: Middle Managers: Their Vital Role in Volunteer Success
From AFSWiki
As of December 20, the latest Everyone Ready® online volunteer management training topic is available. As was announced in March 2010, all AFS-USA volunteers and staff can access the monthly Everyone Ready® topics online, via the "Resources" tab inGlobal Link.
This month's Everyone Ready® topic is entitled, "Middle Managers: Their Vital Role in Volunteer Success" and is available through January 15. After January 15, the seminar will be available in the "archived topics" of the Everyone Ready® site until mid-February.
After reading this Guide and discussing its content, participants will be able to:
- Describe why and how middle managers are essential to supporting both paid staff and volunteers working together on the front line
- Identify specific aspects of volunteer-related management and decision making that need middle management attention
- Act more effectively as a third-party liaison if such is needed to assist the relationship between a volunteer and an employee
- Monitor that the time and effort spent supporting volunteers is outweighed by the benefits derived from volunteer contributions
