Managing Flexible Volunteer Workforce - the Canadian National Standards - 2021
National Canadian Standards of Volunteer Involvement explained
Canadian standards on how to manage volunteer.
A. Great tools in the volunteer management and social sector that works for companies in Toronto, and Canada.
A good acknowledgement for the social volunteer workforce-flexible workforce that extend work-at odd hours. Volunteers form an integral part of value-creation-offering democratic justice-in institutions. Volunteers runs polling at field level, riding level-and offer high level granularity in connecting communities.
OUR COMMENTARY: The Volunteer and Donor Management Training- Canada Training
Check : Kari's special insights- on Canadian Code For Volunteer Involvment. 3C-Culture, Community and Conversation.
❤Exhibit: The workforce and Volunteer Management is the same for NonProfits, social enterprises as well as any provincial Federal ridings. The approach is the same when volunteers are engaged in being active citizens for a large event or cause. Again- the rules in Greater Toronto are not that different from rules in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ottawa Centre, Gatineau. Normally if workforce is being hired without any pay the same rules apply as that for a non-profit-unless a person is being politically used or politically leveraged. It starts with getting communication literature out that allows-one to have workforce as well as campaigns to drive a cause. Digital Offices are engaged in getting a word out on specific tools that national teams promote.
Special Note: Not everyone is comfortable with political movements that are based on divisive American identity political movements (very unitelligent) such as Black lives matter and white privilege. Also not many youth get excited by being spoon fed rules around squads, protest, equity, and wage gap. It is so anti establishment. It is so anti-corporate. It is so evasive. Lets call out on such false information on TV, Emails etc. ( Let us know if you don't know the meaning of evasive)
Les fausses informations sur la politique et la santé
Tous les reportages télévisés sur les données sur l'emploi et la politique de la santé ne sont pas crédibles. Il faut se méfier
Usually parliamentary sessions (Virtual-or In-Person) and House of Commons Sessions are created to bring in accountability for essential topics- vaccines, racism, misinformation, jobs, students, wage subsidy.
B. Normally All Volunteers Hiring is done based on relationships and culture.
If I have to hire volunteers-who are active citizens- or sell a Program- I know of volunteer leaders- around 5-6 of them in Toronto-who move fast with flexible workforce-and voluntary sector. It's nice to schedule workforce but never double schedule unpaid workforce. Work with relationships and culturally inspire them. There is increasing labor shortage worldwide. It makes it extremely difficult for communities to commit to flexible work-force without a plan.
The flexible workforce are engaged in movements-without filibustering. They are engaged in polling because they care about all-encompassing data dashboards that are created.
All post secondary students are adults-and they also can contribute in many ways without supervision and policing. Toronto workforce is not uniquely different from that in New Foundland and Labrador. While there's greater exposure to American style of working-but that should only make Toronto workforce more superior to the rest and not be part of any controversy.
C. What is National Volunteer Week
The video explains the National Volunteer Week. Campaign Offices- that want to engage with large population cannot operate without volunteer networks. Hiring, Retaining and Managing Volunteer is an important fabric of social entrepreneurship. It is a training program to allow student workforce to take up larger roles and is based on Canadian (National-Global) Standards.
- Why Volunteer: Volunteering and Internship for Youth and Seniors is a path to gain experience in areas around public advocacy, politics, dealing with people. Volunteering is like apprenticeship, internship that preps members for something bigger and for a large role. A remote commentator role for your local cable TV is not a large respectable role- a respectable role is one wherein you help shape lives-without asking . Tell before you sell and pitch. You don't get what you don't ask but if You ask for wrong things-you get wrong actions-and even wrong results.
1. Help bigger, better teams
2. Build capacity
3. Schedule flexible workforce for events.
4. Pull workforce-from database
5. Get the flexible workforce to work towards a shared goal
6. Build a movement based on response levels of flexible workforce
7. Gain Experience in your student life to managing people
8. Create resourcefulness-and learn social cultures
Public Affairs, Travel Industry, Restauant Industry, and Social Sector work really well with Flexible WorkForce
Who's an Active Average Citizen- An average active citizen has a location, physical location-they don't stay like a tribe (and can be used or work from anywhere)
Small Things That Matter in an electoral district:
Average Citizen Privacy is paramount
1. What is their Voting Address
2. What is their Polling District
3. What is their Voting City
4. What is their Riding- In the picture above the riding is South Glengary
An Active Average Citizen has a polling district. They are part of a polling division. They have a choice and they can offer responses with utmost privacy.
In 2015 there were many registered voters- getting to reach to potential voters- and reaching is a massive exercise. Canadidates needed to be friendly with Elections Canada- they need money, volunteer, and office-and also work (on instructions) with Stephanie Pignot, as well as Campaign Offices-to create hope and hardwork. Teams would work on demographics -and get people to debate.
The answer would be from very right, to very wrong, to mixed responses. That would be collecting pulse-and that could be results released on all media platforms.
Candidates that won elections, or Canadians - had certain discipline in sharing their message through a strong outreach after ascertaining data.
There were many mixed messages on PM Justin Trudeau-Cabinet-and few were just fictional representation of those who were producing fake news. Again-the fake news reporters not only lost credibility but never stayed in the game to resurface. Background Checks, Health and Safety Checks-all showcased the real stars from the real losers. It didn't take anyone any effort. Again- Canadian governments (provincial , Federal) could look at digital training from New Zealand that uses social media to make citizens active
Average Campaign in 2015 spent 70,000 $ to 90,000 $
Again The Team Trudeau Library has tools on managing budgets, how to hire volunteers, manage volunteers and retain volunteers-and for companies such as parties- the rules are often the same as for social enterprises. Again if there's risk offices would alert and would never jeopardize their flexible workforce-as Canadian code is something that does not ask any campaign manager to push their message to undecided voters-or share message to the only person on a campaign trail. Health and Safety Matters. For every diverse member of the team-or an undecided voter privacy matters-so that they can be a resource.
Again-if someone from Libya, Somalia or Yemen (High terrorist regions) comment on America-and mistake that for Canada-again discount that TV news.
If you're interested to be part of Public Affairs Fellowship- Team Trudeau Fellowship reach out-and would love to connect you with the national committee that trains various members-about the Public Affairs Fellowship Program. Make sure you reach Karie-Karishma and she will help you build your base of support and campaign.
Parties national campaigns make a decision on which electoral districts would the Federal Team invest in. What is a campaign office is doing to make a success. It's not about giving food to volunteers but have a strong communication. Campaigns rely on communication. Your team needs to be good at digital organizing-and capture videos. Also look at how speeches are created.
- Put up ( speeches ) about Candidates
- Keep a record of those who support a campaign
- Most candidates have a track of who they met and who they haven't met
- If there's undecided voters ( 10s of thousands) are undecided- campaigns have to pull vote
Political Parties don't have right to leak to voter list-and they need to build privacy. Also ensuring voters have to have a Get Out The Vote- and voters can also cast at special ballot. They need to appreciate members from all stripes all backgrounds all ethnicities.
Campaign can pull up vote as soon as Elections Canada office resumes. Winning in Federal Campaign means being democratic and getting candidates, households, advocacy teams, theme, speeches and design of the marketing as well as emails, phone calls, leaders to make success happen.
Additional Tips to manage people workforce :
1. Never double schedule anyone : That's a national-global standard
2. Understand the hierarchy and help every member in the volunteer workforce be connected to all levels of the advocacy at national-local level. Transparency and Truth matters. Political organizations don't work in an island. They are socially active just as other large organizations. Funds need to be managed-and all funds need to tie in with candidate funds, campaign managers-as well as field managers. Field Managers work with Digital Coordinator, Canvas Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator. The local communications team has media relations, platform and Get Out the Vote Manager.
Understand , thank and Recorgnize the role of Field Manager
Understand, thank, and Recognize the role of Communications Local Issues Manager
Understand, thank and Evalauate the Get Out The Vote Manager
Understand, thank and evaluate the Office Manager
Understand and thank, the Candidate Scheduler/ Aide
Understand, thank the legal counsel-media relations-the campaign manager-the honorary campaign chair
3. Thank communities for their resourcefulness. Never send anyone greymail
4. Build a local news team-and create a local culture around celebrating news from various members.
B. Acknowledge All Members of a Group :
Appreciate getting 197 members to share few of our informational themes
There are many members that you meet during an average communication drive and each member creates a great impact on overall results. Acknowledge Ontario leaders. Focus on provinical and Federal campaigns-and tie in to Canadian goals that allow your region to be a model for various multilateral organizations.
Highlight Results of people who work hard in driving results.

There's a difference between Federal Campaigns that have a Canadian voice and those that rely on outside Canada movements.
