Thank you to the Alexandria (Virginia) Patch for spotlighting our BEST (Building Employment Solutions Together) program in this morning’s edition! BEST is a collaborative project of ServiceSource and the Joey Pizzano Memorial Fund that supports adults with disabilities in developing job skills and building independence while helping businesses meet pressing needs. BEST operates a gift shop on South Patrick Street in Old Town Alexandria that sells craft items made by people participating in ServiceSource programs, with all proceeds going back to the individual artisans. A new BEST gift shop will open on King Street this fall, in time for holiday shopping. People in the BEST program staff the gift shop, talking with shoppers about the products and ServiceSource programs they participate in. The BEST Team is also available to help employers with a variety of tasks, from light cleaning to gift bag assembly, to help prepare for meaningful jobs in the community. https://lnkd.in/eBiJvKTn

On my travels workplaces will ask how they can create a "good workplace culture". A good workplace culture should be the goal for every company. I have observed a myriad of benefits that a good workplace culture can have. Safety is better, worker attrition is low, worker's pride in their job is high, etc. One simple method of facilitating a workplace culture is to get the workers to interact with each other away from their jobs and their workplace responsibilities. What better way than for employees to work together for the benefit of the local community. As Gränges Americas Inc. shows us with their great post. When workplaces have volunteer opportunities for the their employees everyone wins. It is these simple volunteer opportunities that allow employees to deal with their coworkers away from the stress of work. Job titles mean little when one is volunteering. Why, because employees are working together to complete a task. These events allows individuals to get to know their coworker(s) on a way that they cannot at their workplace. This interpersonal connection that is achieved can provide so many rewards to either growing or maintaining a good work culture. Keep up the good work Gränges Americas Inc. ! I do love your posts.
Employer community responsibility refers to the obligation that businesses have to contribute positively to the communities in which they operate. This responsibility goes beyond simply making profits and encompasses various actions aimed at improving the well-being of the community and addressing social, environmental, and economic challenges. Employer community responsibility is about recognizing the interconnectedness between businesses and the communities they serve and taking proactive steps to contribute positively to the social, economic, and environmental well-being of those communities. By fulfilling their community responsibilities, employers can build trust, strengthen relationships, and create shared value for both their businesses and the communities in which they operate. Thank you to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee for letting our team in Huntingdon including Ryan Brockman, Connor Pinson, Rachel Carter, Hannah Belew, Erik Belew, Joseph Richardson, and many more be involved in such a wonderful outing. #Secondharvest #communityinvolvement #volunteers

Help At Your Door was recently recognized as Golden Valley Rotary Club Business of the Year I am proud to serve on the board of directors and am reaching out to ask for your help to solve for three areas of need that are critical to fulfill the mission of helping seniors and those with disabilities remain independent in their homes. 1. Staffing – We have critical gaps in our paid staff roles. Who do you know that might be a good fit for our openings in operations, finance and store coordination? https://lnkd.in/dJGmWrAf 2. Volunteers – Our demand for transportation and home services are exceeding our supply of volunteers. Please consider volunteering and/or sharing with your network! https://lnkd.in/dcJXm3xP 3. New Van – Grocery delivery remains the largest service provided and the current vans are starting to fail. Please consider donating to fund new vans. https://lnkd.in/deDnNaDz #donate #jobopportunity #volunteers https://lnkd.in/gCHuF8Ki

Police Chief Inspector at Cheshire Police Follow me on Twitter Insp Dan @DannoReynolds Founding member of @Wecops team #WeCops
This @WeCops debate coincides with national volunteer week and is hosted by ACC Bill Dutton on the important topic of the Special Constabulary. It will run on X and LinkedIn on Wednesday 5th June at 2100hrs BST. This is the last of our chats in this current format as we move to a new website and platform soon. We Look forward to a lively and interesting discussion. See you there – just search for #WeCops Pre-read below: “The Special Constabulary have existed now for 193 years. While many of the principles that applied to policing have remain true and applicable with context to the times, have we reached the point where society, technology and priorities have changed so much that the form or even existence of the Special Constabulary needs to be reconsidered? In the last decade the number of special constables in England and Wales has dropped from 19,011 to 6841. In other words, the size is set to be only a third of what it was just 10 years ago. It was a time when although not trouble free, policing was perhaps more warmly embraced by wider society, politicians and the media. In more recent times there has been a global pandemic, an intentional uplift in regular police numbers, and more attractive opportunities for more people to work from home. Volunteering in policing is not a concept that is unique to the UK, and while the format and depth varies globally, many people feel an altruistic human need, to give back to society, and help their communities. There are many other opportunities that exist for people to contribute their time and energy as a volunteer, and in many different sectors and causes. But few will be quite as unique as serving as a police officer for no pay. What do we offer beyond Armed Forces Reservists, or Retained Firefighter roles – to name just two? Yet those involved in the Special Constabulary continue to volunteer and deliver an amazing service time after time. That continued contribution to policing in a way that goes far beyond the hours of duty that they deliver. They are the epitome of the Peelian principle that the “public are the police and the police are the public.” However, the increasing demand for training, accreditation, scrutiny, and accountability appear to be eroding the ability of well natured, professional volunteers in policing. And it is fundamental that they need and deserve the protections offered of our paid police officers. That they are properly trained, equipped and able to conduct their duties professionally. The public also deserve this. The challenge is not going away, nor is it getting any smaller. How can we continue this fine tradition and build it back stronger and better? What is the support that is needed? What would make the difference? And ultimately, is the Special Constable still a competitive volunteering proposition?” This #WeCops tweet chat will ask four questions and hopes to find out.

Policy & Grants Manager, Sammy D Foundation - always keen to talk about policy and program development, research and evaluation, and grant funding.
One of the projects I'm working on this year is surveying our volunteers as part of our Volunteer Management Strategy. I'm struggling with wanting to know EVERYTHING without overwhelming them and getting no responses! Should we focus on culture, engagement, satisfaction? Is a little bit of each better than focusing on just one? What approaches have you taken to survey your volunteers? What are the most important questions we should be asking our volunteers? #volunteermanagement #volunteerengagement #volunteersatisfaction #surveys #nfp

3rd attempt to post. Though at DEA they are not so proud to highlight their shortcomings that they have no issue hiding from taxpayers. They removed my previous posts which simply expresses DEA's willingness to hide their incompetence and disabled comments on the appropriate post. If this firm put out the truth and numbers of how many things they had to redo on this Highway 20 Safety Upgrade between Corvallis and Albany OR taxpayers would have something to say about this firm’s laughable ranking. How about it DEA, put out an itemized list of everything that had to be done two or three times because it wasn’t done right in the first place and how much taxpayers money was wasted in the process. In my driveway alone they had to do multiple things more than once. No wonder ODOT never comes in on budget with incompetence like this! Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this! DEA was contracted for at least the Newberg-Dundee Bypass, the worst one, up 239% from original estimate. https://lnkd.in/epv6uESx
