CONTEXT
Team structure: [TEAM STRUCTURE]
Anonymized workload information: [WORKLOAD INFORMATION]
Volunteer feedback: [VOLUNTEER FEEDBACK]
Available support resources: [SUPPORT RESOURCES]
OBJECTIVE
Identify organizational pressures that may contribute to volunteer exhaustion and recommend manageable improvements.
INSTRUCTIONS
Separate directly reported concerns from possible risk indicators. Review workload distribution, schedule predictability, role clarity, leadership support, conflict, and access to rest. Draft a short optional pulse survey that avoids collecting unnecessary health information. Propose immediate relief measures and longer-term process changes, each with an owner and review point. Create a supportive check-in script that gives volunteers permission to reduce commitments without defending their faith or loyalty. Include a coverage plan for planned breaks and an approach to welcoming people back without pressure.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not diagnose burnout, depression, or other conditions from limited information. Do not identify individuals in small-group reports where anonymity cannot be protected. Avoid framing rest as a reward earned through overwork or treating prayer as a substitute for practical support.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a risk-and-evidence table, pulse survey, support plan, check-in script, and review measures.
