Volunteers are the grass roots of our mission and our hope for growth. Here’s why:
1. Volunteers set the tone for evolving a culture of development. ALFA invests in volunteers that return dividends in the form of super-volunteers who are more committed to the organization and willing to expend the effort necessary to do the job.
2. Enter a work environment that involves continuous coaching and performance dialogue within work teams. Vital Learning teaches Volunteers how the use of positive performance feedback can encourage self-motivation among all team players. Relationships improve, day-to-day productivity increases, and individuals and teams offer ideas that result in groundbreaking improvements.
3. Involve Volunteers in a higher purpose.
Volunteers understand the organization’s mission and vision and clearly identify
personal strengths applied to roles to their achievement. This makes Volunteer’s and the team’s accomplishments more meaningful and gratifying.
4. Volunteers hold themselves and others accountable by establishing clear performance expectations with the goal for Volunteers to contribute to the organization.
ALFA Volunteers learn to track individual performance standards that are S.M.A.R.T.-based:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Results-Oriented
- Time-Framed
- Volunteers feel motivated and satisfied if they are delivering on their work promises to the team, the manager and all stakeholders.
5. Align the performance culture with engagement strategies, job design and reward systems to maximize motivation.
Volunteer’s performance system establishes clear links between performance and rewards based on individual and group measurements. Volunteer satisfaction and engagement are enhanced markedly.
Final Thoughts
ALFA’s Volunteers are the up-and-coming future leaders of our organization and likely to excel as employees, more committed, engaged and satisfied — yielding greater productivity in their chosen profession.
