This case study puts students into a decision-making role as they examine human resource practices in small, non-profit organizations. Specifically, students are tasked with managing an animal rescue and must develop strategies to help recruit and train volunteers. Animal rescue provides a unique context given the lack of funding that most rescues experience and a heavy reliance on volunteers as traditional approaches, such as the “carrot and sticks” approach aren’t as useful in this scenario.
