Orientation is about setting the stage for a positive experience with your volunteers. It includes setting expectations, allowing for a dialogue with your volunteers, ensuring they have the tools to support their roles, and the first step in onboarding and retention.
Orientation and training provide people with information that makes them more confident in their organizational roles. It encourages confidence and assists people in adapting more quickly to their position, whether as a paid employee or volunteer. It ultimately contributes to an effective and efficient board, committee, or group –essential to retaining the most critical resource…people. People want to be a part of winning teams, not dysfunctional boards and committees - being organized and providing orientation and training can improve retention and volunteer satisfaction. This presentation will teach you the integral steps to a successful direction and training plan.
We will examine what tools volunteers need to understand their role in the organization. We will look at how to onboard board and committee members and what they need to know before they start their journey.
