The discrepancy was huge. It’s unfortunate; because as an association that represents Volunteer Managers we would love to be able to state what we feel is an appropriate pay-scale for professionals in our city. However with our industry being so varied, it is impossible to decide what the norm is. <br /><br />This is definitely an issue that we need to be taking into our own hands. Does anyone know of any groups who are doing research on this topic right now?ADVRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17289032069276012511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712886818225825296.post-2156475862584741592011-05-01T19:28:26.975+10:002011-05-01T19:28:26.975+10:00Thanks Martin.

When I talk about the survey many people express surprise that they havent heard about it. I'd welcome an article on its findings if you have the time sometime.DJ Cronin (Diarmuid Joseph)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14217163695140434673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712886818225825296.post-24867591498337936532011-05-01T19:25:51.729+10:002011-05-01T19:25:51.729+10:00Thats very interesting Wendy - thanks for your con...Thats very interesting Wendy - thanks for your contributionDJ Cronin (Diarmuid Joseph)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14217163695140434673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712886818225825296.post-70665471258426460762011-05-01T18:45:30.241+10:002011-05-01T18:45:30.241+10:00In the Global volunteer management survey pay rate...In the Global volunteer management survey pay rates for a full time volunteer manager ranged from $US9600 to $US150 000.

Thank you for yet again challenging us to think about our profession and consider strategies for improving our situation. <br /><br />While it may be straightforward to benchmark a position based on an evaluation methodology such as the one below, the remuneration of the position depends on the organisation itself. Factors such as the organisation’s culture and financial resources impact on the remuneration of the position. The culture of the organisation looks at how the organisation values its employees. If the organisation values volunteer management, it is more likely to remunerate the position accordingly.<br /><br />The Mercer Job Evaluation Management System (JEMS) Methodology grades each position, using alpha-numeric and plus and minus codes, on each of eight criteria called subfactors: <br /><br />Expertise (the inputs required in the position)<br />1. Knowledge and Experience<br />2. Breadth<br />3. Interpersonal Skills<br />Judgement (the processes involved in carrying out the functions of the job)<br />4. Job Environment<br />5. Reasoning<br />Accountability (the outcomes required from the position)<br />6. Impact<br />7. Independence and Influence<br />8. Involvement<br /><br />http://education.qld.gov.au/strategic/eppr/hr/hrmpr032/mercer.html<br /><br />The JEMS methodology, developed by Mercer Cullen Egan and Dell is a methodology frequently used by government departments.Wendy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905408753088729631noreply@blogger.com
