020: Yes, You Can Fire A Volunteer (But You Might Want To Do This Instead)

from The Small Church Ministry Podcast · host Laurie Acker

You can fire them directly or cause them so much discomfort that they quit (which, by the way, is an indirect way to fire someone). But all these scenarios have the potential to hurt feelings and damage relationships. If you’re looking for a better way to remove a volunteer from a position in your small church and turn a stressful situation into a beautiful opportunity, listen in. Today we’ll be talking about …The top reasons volunteers fail and how to help them succeed insteadHow church culture may have contributed to the unhappy situation you’re both inWhy going slower than you think will be better for your ministryHow to turn a volunteer “firing” into a beautiful restart for your ministryEpisode 009: Do You Need Written Job Descriptions for Volunteers in Small Churches?: https://smallchurchministry.com/podcast/episode009 Episode 013 Set Up Volunteers to Succeed in Your Small Church | Volunteer Series Part 4: https://smallchurchministry.com/podcast/episode013RESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
