KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Jan. 24, 2019 - PRLog -- VolunteerPro has released the 2019 Volunteer Management Progress Report, which provides a rare glimpse into the world of professionals who lead volunteers in a variety of settings. More than 1,500 leaders of volunteers across 14 different countries participated in the survey, which includes industry research on technology trends, work, salary, and satisfaction. In particular, this year's report was dubbed the "Tech Edition."

Of the report's findings, VolunteerPro founder Tobi Johnson said, "We explored the current digital maturity of volunteer administration and our use of technology to engage and foster relationships with volunteers. Around the world, mobile screen time has surpassed the desktop for audience attention, and the internet is a primary source. It is now more important than ever that we keep pace and communicate using modern, relevant channels."

The research is important to both the nonprofit industry and public sector, as it contains rarely studied information on the challenges, successes, and intentions of volunteer managers in a broad range of industries and cause types. In its fourth year, the report compares data and establishes important trends and benchmarks within the field.

Specifically, the Volunteer Management Progress Report unveils:

• Current capacity levels for volunteers placed around the world
