Matching your induction to the volunteer role Participants will be encouraged to share their current practice to compare it with the variety of ways an induction can be delivered. Inductions should be flexible and tailored to the role rather than using a one-size fits all approach. Induction good practice A good induction is an essential part of onboarding new volunteers. It can often be make or break. This webinar will identify good practice to help both parties get the most out of the experience and establish mutual expectations. Volunteer retention The journey of retaining volunteers starts from the very first moment they engage with you. This Webinar reviews good practice and simple ways of retaining them both formal (organisational) and informal (your management). |
