Governance & Board Effectiveness

Good governance is a matter of public interest and there is no room for complacency, given the risks and complexity of businesses today. Effective and open board recruitment processes are an essential element in attracting talented candidates for Non-Executive Director roles. Aligned to this is the need to adopt robust appraisal systems that identify development needs and promote continuous improvement. Introducing board member pay can also bring a number of complex challenges.

In the drive for achieving excellence and improving governance, Channing Hammond can provide advice to increase board effectiveness in the following areas:

Assessment & Appraisal

It is absolutely vital to ensure that your Non-Executive Directors/Board Members have the relevant skills and experience they need to meet the challenges you face. Our assessment methods are tailored to suit your organisation and can include the development of competencies and appraisal questionnaires.

Recruitment

Our team delivers a full Non-Executive Director/Board Member recruitment service to ensure the people with the right experience, competencies and values are recruited to your Board.

Board Competency Frameworks

These provide an objective tool to define the requirements of Board Members, Board Member effectiveness and development plans, as well as informing succession planning activities for Boards.

Introduction of Board Pay

We support organisations in producing their business case for payment to be made to Board Members. We set out clearly how pay will ensure the highest standards of governance, the reasons why payment of Board Members is seen as necessary and beneficial and details of the agreed payment framework, the tests of proportionality and the implementation plan.

I really do feel that the Board has been significantly strengthened as a result of these appointments. I would like to place on record my appreciation of and thanks for the highly professional way in which you have handled matters which have resulted in this happy outcome. Thank you
