Creating and maintaining a diverse volunteer workforce benefits hospice programs and communities exponentially.
Do
you have a diverse volunteer program now? The answer to this question is
critical to evaluating our agencies and our mission in relation to end-of-life
care and surrounding communities.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Define “diverse volunteer workforce” as it applies to your organization and community
- Explain one method used to determine the level of workforce diversity and assess specific needs
- List three obstacles that interfere with creating and maintaining a diverse volunteer workforce
- Describe three methods for addressing obstacles and improving diversity
- Discuss how staff and volunteers are currently assisting with marketing efforts and recruiting new volunteers in all areas
WEBINAR DETAILS
The goal is to have
a volunteer workforce as diverse as our patient and family populations. So
often though, self-imposed limitations and how we think about volunteers constrain
our marketing and recruitment efforts. Likewise, there are frequently
stipulations within our policies and procedures that discourage volunteers from
diverse populations, cultures, and backgrounds. This webinar will look at ways
volunteers are being unintentionally and unnecessarily excluded from the
workforce. It will examine ways to be more inclusive to better serve the ill, and
support circle members, volunteers, and local communities. We will look at one
method in particular to help determine what our current and ideal volunteer
composition and numbers should be. Practices that help guide staff and volunteers
to skillfully assist with outreach will be covered, as well as more inclusive
and specialized methods to tailor processes and trainings.
THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:
- Hospice
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This inclusive webinar is designed for
volunteer managers, steering committee volunteers, hospice administrators, marketing
staff, and all team leaders.
