It doesn't make sense for a business to depend on volunteer staff.

[Fidelia]

Every business that is serious should have staff that they recruit on a well defined contract and they pay. Depending on volunteer staff is suicidal for any business.

Those volunteer staff know how to mess businesses up big time. Their reasons? They don't have any contract with the business.

I agree totally with you. A volunteer at my father's workspace ruined things for my father. He travelled without informing the boss who's my father and switched off his phone. His space was vacant and we lost a client. No paid staff would do such without loosing his job.
I would advice that a volunteer staff should not be given any delegate task to perform as he might disappoint at any given time.

Yea. Hiring contract workers is the foundation of a strong business that wants to be successful in the long run. It is better to pay salaries so that you get well-organized people to keep the work going without a hitch.

Volunteer staff don't have anything at stake for them in the business. They can frustrate you anytime and you would do nothing to them.

As a business, you need to hire some staff to work as a core team. You may have volunteer workers, but they usually will only be available temporarily.

Yes for sure these are no staff. They are just there to help and can leave any time so no need depending on them

When you have volunteer staff, you are dependent on their goodwill for them to work well. And they can decide to take back that goodwill any time.
