Workforce Management Plan

What does a Workforce Management Plan Include?

Whilst they are often underappreciated, Volunteers are the heart and soul of any sporting Club, and without them, most Clubs would struggle to even function. Despite their importance, many volunteers are overworked, and volunteer burnout is a significant issue for many Clubs.

The Workforce Management Plan is designed to help you spread the operations workload amongst your Club Members. We often get asked why we call it the “Workforce Plan” – this is because we believe that Clubs need to operate like a business and treat its volunteers and employees as such, and that too many Clubs are reluctant to do so. Without a structure that resembles a professional organisation, Clubs can’t expect volunteers and members to be held accountable and treat their responsibilities seriously.

There are two key steps in this process:

  • Establish and introduce a Workforce Structure with position descriptions, ensuring that Volunteers and employees at the Club clearly understand their roles and responsibilities

  • Spark the “cultural revolution”, creating an expectation that all Club Members make contributions around the Club to take the burden off the few the do too much

Working with you to successfully establish, introduce and maintain a Workforce Structure that is tailored to your Club within these principles is what the Workforce Management Plan is all about.

What does a Workforce Management Plan Include?

The plan includes;

  • Club Builder’s Strategic Programs & Pathways Framework

  • A concise Club Action Plan, detailing the next steps that the Club needs to take to implement the plan

  • A comprehensive, tailor-made Workforce structure with position descriptions for the Club

Upon completion, the comprehensive plan is the Club’s to keep and is presented to the Club’s committee at the Boardroom Briefing.

Timeframe: 3 – 4 Weeks
