Interesting comments to my post "close our offices volunteered" for a few days ago. You can read the comments in the post . But mine is not a provocation nor a joke tantomento "educational" in French. It 's really my thought, however, supported by decades of experience (not just mine) but colleagues in the field (Susan Ellis and his school first). Far be it from me to dismiss all directors of the offices should remain voluntary for the important stages of the selection, recruitment, call. But not on management and evaluation! My observation is strictly business. Being a volunteer does not mean anything except that you have not paid for doing what you do. Being a volunteer does not mean you are good, does not mean you have specific skills that you do not have homework, timetables, objectives raggungere, professionalism. Being a volunteer means "work" as such in any other paid worker nonprofit organization. Nothing else. So why push them into a playground for children "office volunteers" as if they were classes of different types? Please choose and exploiting volunteers for what they do, and they are Piazzini where their skills, the need of the organization, the willingness of the clients support needs. Engages them in areas of "work" ... In a nonprofit organization there should be only one type of staff that is highly motivated to do the job he does, some paid, some nonretribuiti! (VM)
