• Improving the measures by reducing time taken
Strategic Priorities for 2014
16
1. Signups
Assessment: ADP gets approx. 10 – 15 signups a month (on average, at least 2-3 are suitable for staffing; 5-6 are suitable for conducting
site visits [or other tasks] and 3-4 are unsuitable)
Measures: Brand awareness , # of signups/month, # of signups eligible for staffing
2. Screening
Assessment: Significant backlog existed at the beginning of 2014 due to absence of Ops Manager in 2H13.
Measures: Backlog (# signups not screened),
3. On-boarding/Training
Assessment: System in place and functional but it is ad hoc with no specific timelines.
Measures: Create specific processes and timelines for volunteer training
*Red – high improvement area
Orange – moderate improvement area
Green – functioning well
17. 4. Staffing
Assessment: Small % of available volunteers are never staffed on teams, weak processes for tracking volunteer availability over time, poor
communication with available volunteers while they are not staffed, need more ways to engage volunteers beyond due diligence and site visits
Measures: []% of total available volunteers staffed in last 3 months, []% of new volunteers staffed in last 3 months
5. Team Management / Feedback
Assessment: Staffed volunteers receive timely logistical support, feedback mechanisms exist but not systematically applied and data is not captured
in a comprehensive manner
Measures: Quarterly Net Promoter Scores and feedback summaries
6. Retention
Assessment: Strong core of PECs/PTLs who have done multiple projects, some volunteers lost due to lack of communication/follow up
Measures: # of volunteers who have done more than one project, # of new PTLs and PECs promoted per year, % retention of available volunteers
from prior year
17
18. Volunteer Management: 100-Day
Plan

• Staffing – Quarterly check-ins with available volunteers, more volunteering opportunities (below)
