Section 3: Screening Volunteers/Supervision

Supervision

Absolutely nothing is more valuable than supervision when it comes to making the correct employment/ volunteer decisions. This consists of constructive feedback, proper credit for work completed as well as corrective action where necessary. This is the most effective method of ensuring that the tasks are being completed satisfactorily and in a timely manner.

Methods of supervision include routine meetings, observation, self-performance appraisals, and surveys of volunteer's direct clients. This information will be discussed in greater detail in Section 5: Supervision.

It is very important to document the results of your research into volunteer performance as shall be addressed in later sections dedicated to performance appraisals, disciplinary actions, and termination.
