Administration and reporting

Good record keeping

Confidentiality of a volunteer's personal information and photographs
Attendance records
Work reports
Accident reports

Good administration is essential - poor management and administration can waste resources and discourage and frustrate volunteers. Good reporting helps keep track of everyone and everything, and it can also help with receiving ongoing funding and support for the program.

Thought

Disorganisation may negatively influence a volunteer's perception of and experience in the organisation.
