Recruitment, induction, and succession planning

Introduction

The aim of this governance development session is to assist a board or management committee to develop comprehensive recruitment, induction, and succession planning processes for new board or management committee members. The activities will guide the board or management committee in:

• reviewing the types of skills and experience that the organisation needs on its board or management committee, and assessing the extent to which the board or management committee currently has these skills and experience
• identifying the types of skills and experience the board or management committee would like to recruit in the future
• developing a recruitment strategy
• developing an orientation or induction program for new board or management committee members
• designing a succession plan for the board or management committee.

Ideally, this development session should be facilitated by a person with a good understanding of succession planning and recruitment strategies. This may be an experienced person within the organisation or an external facilitator.

Timing of this program:

3 hours
