5.1a(2) To promote initiative and empowerment, employees are
responsible for the oversight of operations at SF and link all
V-teams. Employees are empowered with the authority to organize
and manage volunteers to maximize performance. In 2007
each employee will be cross-trained in multiple processes to cover
different areas when needed. In addition to employees, volunteer
leaders developed in SF’s LDP have strong organizational
process knowledge and, absent an employee, have the authority
to place the appropriate volunteers in jobs to ensure that the daily
work continues. All employees and volunteers work cooperatively
in teams—at SF no one works alone.
