Where we can’t agree, we’ll tell you why.

18. Process of Change – working with and for volunteers • Arlene Grubbs: Managing the Impact of Organizational Change on Volunteers • 4 Stages • Resistance • Confusion • Integration • Commitment

19. Stage 1 - Resistance • ‘If there are no opportunities for volunteers to express concern, outrage etc, these will continue to simmer and prevent volunteers from moving through the change process’ • Volunteer administrators: • ’be willing to say if you don’t know what is going to happen’

20. Stage 2 - CONFUSION • Volunteers…’begin to hunger for some clarity’. • Volunteer administrators: advice- ‘As much as the thought of hiding in your office may be tempting, this is the time to be visible’.

21. Stage 3 -INTEGRATION • Assisting volunteers to secure roles in the new environment. • An opportunity to revitalise the partnership between paid and volunteer staff • Important to help volunteers to see how the implemented changes will assist the organisation in performing its mission better.

22. Stage 4 - Commitment • People begin to look to the future • Hold to the course that’s been set while being open to new ideas

23. Overall • ‘The good old days may not even look quite so good – now that we’ve learned how to be even better’.
