Inhaltsangabe

A bestseller since the original US edition in 1986, FROM THE TOP DOWN was the first book to identify the critical link between the actions of an organisation’s senior management and the overall success of volunteer engagement. It has been the go-to book for enlightened CEOs, senior managers and board members around the world wanting to improve the strategic integration of volunteering with their mission, and a guide for volunteer resources managers striving to influence “up” in their organisations. This latest edition is fully revised and adapted for readers in the United Kingdom. With UK-specific chapters on legal and financial issues, FROM THE TOP DOWN - UK EDITION is the essential guide for UK organisations to achieve maximum impact from the participation of volunteers. FROM THE TOP DOWN will help you: • Articulate a vision and strategy for volunteer involvement • Make the most of the connection between those who give money and those who give time • Avoid tension between paid staff and volunteers • Tap into a wider range of community resources • Budget for and effectively resource volunteer engagement • Find the best person to lead on volunteering • Manage risk, legal and insurance issues realistically • Think about the true value of volunteers, not just what it would have cost to pay staff to do their work • Demonstrate consistent executive level commitment to volunteering that goes well beyond nice words
