VOLUNTEER attrition rateS
ARO underwent a huge transformation as we entered 2022. Working through a Pandemic, with a 250+ fully staffed Volunteer force, was an extremely difficult feat to have undertaken. Many people came on board and soon after departed. It was not due to any negative reasons. Simply put, during the last 6 months of 2021 and the first couple of months of 2022, we had lost and replaced more than half of our management team, companywide. Therefore, the continuity of communications and personal attention to our staff suffered as a result. In addition, many key members of the organization were selected for the Norm Therapy® Training Cohort and later became a fixture in both their original role as well as with the Norm Therapy® Department. This thinning of management also contributed to the impact. Lastly, our heavy management and volunteer turnovers were ultimately due to COVID, family matters, moving, sickness and finding work, etc., the continuity waned and quite a few Volunteers fell through the cracks as we tallied the impact.
We are currently back on track and are looking forward to a banner upwardly mobile growth year. Thank you for all of your continued support and donations,
MANAGEMENT
