Momentos de feedback s?o essenciais para alinhar expectativas e fortalecer o desempenho dos voluntários, especialmente em projetos de impacto social. Feedbacks formais proporcionam clareza e direcionamento, mas os informais, ao longo da jornada, s?o igualmente importantes para criar confian?a e manter a motiva??o. Para que sejam efetivos, é fundamental qualificá-los com exemplos concretos e situa??es vivenciadas, mostrando de forma clara como melhorias podem ser aplicadas. Essa abordagem prática e empática estimula o crescimento, cria conex?es mais fortes e demonstra que o feedback é uma ferramenta de evolu??o, n?o de crítica.

Unlike an employee, a volunteer is willingly providing his/her time to support. If that support is unwanted, let the volunteer know and part ways. If you have a challenging situation, adjust your conflict resolution techniques accordingly. This is more mentorship than management. Clear communication is key. Manage expectations to mitigate conflict and address challenges head on.
