Standard H6 – Develop organisational structures and systems to support volunteering [UKWH A3]

Introduction

Organisations need structures and systems that properly integrate and support the work of volunteers. In particular, these structures and systems should cover:

  • personnel management in a volunteer context

  • health and safety

  • induction

  • training and development

  • supervision and support

  • communication

  • resourcing

You need to evaluate how existing structures and systems can be improved to meet your organisation’s and volunteers’ needs. You may need to introduce quite new structures and systems where none exist.

When designing or redesigning structures and systems, you need to develop various options

and consult on these with volunteers, other stakeholders (such as beneficiaries of volunteer work, individual or corporate funders, partner organisations and paid staff) and decision makers (such as trustees, committee members and senior managers). Before putting the agreed structures and systems in place you need to negotiate their introduction with the volunteers, other stakeholders and decision makers.

To develop organisational structures and systems to support volunteering, you need to:

A3.1 Identify and evaluate organisational structures and systems to support volunteering

A3.2 Design organisational structures and systems to support volunteering, and

A3.3 Implement organisational structures and systems to support volunteering

This unit links closely with unit A1 Contribute to the development of your organisation’s strategy, unit A2 Develop your organisation’s volunteering policy, unit A4 Develop plans to meet your organisation’s goals and unit A5 Evaluate volunteers’ contributions to your organisation’s goals.

  3. Encourage and support volunteers and colleagues to provide feedback on the effectiveness and efficiency of structures and systems and how well they meet diverse needs

  4. Identify and evaluate structures and systems in other related organisations to identify best practice

  5. Analyse the information and identify ways in which structures and systems in your organisation could best meet the needs of your volunteers

  6. Share your findings with decision makers and stakeholders and take account of their feedback

A3.2 Design organisational structures and systems to support volunteering

To perform to the standard you need to:

  1. Identify the current and potential resources available for structures and systems

  2. Develop specifications for structures and systems using evaluation and feedback

  3. Develop options to meet these specifications which are achievable within available resources and are consistent with other relevant structures and systems in your organisation

  4. Make sure the options you develop promote people’s rights, responsibilities and diversity

  5. Present your options to decision makers and stakeholders and help them to provide informed feedback on your options

  6. Take account of the feedback of decision makers and stakeholders in selecting and refining an option and gain their approval to move forward

  1. Involve volunteers and colleagues in planning how to implement structures and systems

  3. Make sure those involved in implementing the structures and systems understand the implications for their work

  4. Identify and provide the training, development and other support that may be required to make the structures and systems effective

  5. Put in place methods to monitor and evaluate the structures and systems and identify when evaluation will take place

  6. Monitor the implementation of the structures and systems, ensuring they are being adhered to

  7. Carry out scheduled evaluations and make any necessary improvements
