More Volunteer Management, Volunteer Recruitment and Volunteer Recognition Ideas…

Hi Everyone

A follow-up for you on from the previous post relating to…

UNEXPECTED VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION IS VERY IMPORTANT

For those in volunteer management, last time I suggested using Unexpected Volunteer Recognition, where you show appreciation to your volunteers totally unexpectedly. You can read more about this idea again by reading the previous blog post.

I’ve received lots of emails from people about this and so I do need to clear up some confusion.  It is  necessary that you understand that both unexpected and expected volunteer recognition are needed to show volunteer appreciation most effectively.

UNEXPECTED RECOGNITION IS NOT A REPLACEMENT

Unexpected recognition is not a replacement for other volunteer recognition such as at Christmas time or during National Volunteer Week. This type of recognition is very important. If you always have a lunch or event to thank your volunteers during National Volunteer Week – don’t stop now. You need to keep up the great work of appreciating and recognizing your volunteers at these times.

JUST ADD ONE TOTAL SURPRISE

But also add just one totally unexpected type of volunteer recognition during the year. Such as a thank-you card and an inspirational volunteer quote magnet. Or another idea you want to try.

Why? Because when you add this surprise or unexpected recognition you are guaranteed to multiply the power of the recognition and positive memories for your volunteers.

P.S. The packets of the inspirational volunteer quote magnets are still available. If you order now, it takes 3-5 days to reach you. Plenty of time for National Volunteer Week in Australia…
