Volunteer Inservices & Support: Overlooked Retention Opportunities

Description

Keep the volunteers you worked so hard to recruit.

Learn how intentional in services and one‑on‑one support can turn “revolving door” volunteers into a stable, committed hospice team. If it feels like you’re losing volunteers as fast as you gain them, it may be a sign they are not feeling fulfilled, supported, or growing in their roles. This webinar will show volunteer managers how to use substantive ongoing education, targeted coaching, and individualized retention plans to keep volunteers engaged, confident, and connected to the mission.
