Online Governance Meetings

Whether you’re a non-profit or a private company, or an enterprise the importance of having regular open discussions cannot be overstated. Governance meetings are a great way to deal with tensions, ambiguities and disagreements prior to them becoming conflict or irritability. They also ensure that all stakeholders are treated in a fair, meaningful way.

But when the COVID-19 lockdowns began and companies pushed employees–including executives–to work from homes, it was a challenge to continue business as usual. Directors faced a range of new and urgent issues. These included putting together emergency plans to deal with an ongoing pandemic, implementing face mask policies, ensuring employees’ safety and health, as well as creating emergency succession plans. They were required to handle all of this while coordinating with dozens of different stakeholders working remotely.
