New and prospective director resources
PwC’s Governance Insights Center publishes guides and other resources for new and prospective director orientation.
A well-designed and well-executed director onboarding program is an investment in the company’s future.
Effective director onboarding is crucial for companies to quickly leverage the skills and experience of new board members. However, many companies fail to dedicate sufficient time and resources to onboarding, and directors may not know the right questions to ask.
Our guide includes key considerations for the onboarding process such as:
- How onboarding should be tailored to the specific needs of different types of directors, including first-time directors, experienced directors, and activist directors.
- What key topics should be covered during onboarding, and questions new directors could ask to get the necessary information and perspective.
- A plan for building relationships both inside and outside of the boardroom to tap into the company’s collective knowledge, identify potential issues and gain a deeper understanding of strategic priorities.
- A look at committee specific onboarding considerations, listing key topics to cover, documents to discuss and questions new committee members should ask.
The bottom line:
By dedicating sufficient time and resources to onboarding, companies can ensure that new directors are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to make meaningful contributions from day one. Invest in comprehensive onboarding processes that align with your board's unique needs and culture. Contact us to discuss how we can help optimize your director onboarding practices.
