VO Workshop in Volunteer Management: Discipline & Dismissal

Nobody relishes the task of meting out discipline or letting anyone go, but this is an inevitable part of managing other people. Poorly-performing staff members, whether they are paid or unpaid, can have a negative effect on your team and on your organization’s effectiveness.

Learning Objectives
After completing the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the role legislation has on volunteer discipline and dismissal
  • Understand the roles program staff and the Manager of Volunteers/Coordinator of Volunteers play in the process
  • Summarize steps in the process to handle inappropriate volunteer behaviour
  • Determine in which situations a volunteer termination is justified and necessary
  • Use a model to terminate a volunteer
  • Outline documentation considerations – what should and should not be included in a volunteer’s file

Who should attend?

  • Volunteer Coordinators
  • Senior managers
  • Program personnel
