During a virus pandemic, it&#8217;s sure to make that job even harder. In this blog Teaminetic aims to give some practical advice to keep your volunteers volunteering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reassure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reassurance will be key. The message to volunteers should be to not panic, that volunteering should be proceeded as normal unless specific advice is received. During this time you may need a higher level of communication between yourself and your volunteers. Clear communication will help to remove the anxiety that volunteers may be feeling, and help you restore confidence through reassurance that you are doing everything possible to reduce risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation is key, and following a few simple rules will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Assuring hand sanitizing stations are filled and available <\/li><li>Surfaces that are regularly used have been cleaned, countertops, doorknobs etc. <\/li><li>Asking politely that anyone who isn&#8217;t feeling well to not attend sessions. <\/li><li>Provide disposable wipes so that commonly used surfaces like keyboards, remote controls, desks etc can be wiped down by volunteers before each use. <\/li><li>Enable micro-volunteering or volunteering from home. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep volunteers up to date with the latest news from your organisation, via newsletters, emails, texts and social media channels. A lot can happen in 24 hours as we&#8217;ve previously seen. The fluid situation could mean that sessions or events might need to be cancelled at short notice, so try to keep your volunteers informed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volunteering from home <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a high probability that people could be asked to work from home. If, or when, the government issues these measures, perhaps your organisation could adopt virtual or micro-volunteering in order to maintain volunteer involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro volunteering involves low commitment action towards a cause. Micro-volunteers can choose how and when they volunteer, providing they have access to the internet via a laptop, tablet smartphone etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro-volunteering opportunities could involve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Signing online petitions <\/li><li>Writing blogs <\/li><li>Re-tweeting and posting relevant content on Facebook and Twitter.<\/li><li>Providing feedback on marketing materials. <\/li><li>Creating Facebook Live meetings or Google Hangouts meetings.<\/li><li>Getting creative by generating material for upcoming events.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro-volunteering and virtual volunteering will not replace traditional volunteering. However, during COVID-19 it maybe your best option in order to maintain engagement and stay tuned with your volunteers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the meantime <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What can we all do to help prevent the spread of COVID-19? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze.<\/li><li>Put used tissues in the bin. <\/li><li>Wash your hands with soap and water often \u2013 use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available. Remember to wash your hands for 20 seconds, whilst singing God save the Queen (Other songs are available).<\/li><li>Try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell.<\/li><li>Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.<\/li><li>Refrain from touching your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay positive, remain calm and don&#8217;t worry, there&#8217;s enough toilet roll for everyone&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CIVSolUWIAA1_zz.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CIVSolUWIAA1_zz.jpg 468w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CIVSolUWIAA1_zz-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further reading sources <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/graphics\/2020\/world\/corona-simulator\/\">Why outbreaks like coronavirus spread exceptionally well<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/mar\/12\/science-soap-kills-coronavirus-alcohol-based-disinfectants?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Gmail\">The science of soap&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\"><strong>TeamKinetic Volunteer Management<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if you haven&#8217;t seen the lastest news or attempted to buy hand sanitiser recently, you may have noticed a decline in volunteer participation, and that pasta and toilet roll are now worth more than GOLD!
