Director induction

Do you have board or university council appointment/elections on the horizon this year? If so, now is the perfect time to review what program you have in place to facilitate an effective transition for your new directors.

Board induction is a crucial element to successfully transitioning a new board member into your organisation. A thorough and tailored induction and training program is an investment in the personal development of your directors, helping to ensure board members can fulfil their duties diligently and proactively.

A robust induction program can offer greater clarity about the role and the context within which the organisation is operating giving confidence to make more effective contributions from the get-go. This increases your new director’s value to the organisation and contributes to a strong board culture.

An induction is essential for all new appointments, irrespective of whether it is the board member’s first rodeo, or they are a well-seasoned director.
