Benchmarking Tool

The BC Adaptation of Volunteer Canada's Benchmarking Tool for Volunteer Centres

In September 2000 Volunteer BC convened a committee to adopt or develop a benchmarking tool and guide for BC's volunteer centres. This committee' s mandate includes assessing Volunteer Canada's Benchmarking Guide for use in BC, and suggesting refinements to address issues such as within multi-service organization and stand-alone volunteer centre differences. Further work may include developing a guide for the benchmarking tool that identifies it as a critical process for effective volunteer centres; that explains how to use it, who in the volunteer centre will use it and what to do with / how to use the results. Finally, this committee will recommend how Volunteer BC will promote the use this tool/guide to volunteer centres and provide "consulting" to volunteer centres asking for assistance in using the benchmarking tool.
