Thanks to the NACD Northern CA Black Directors Coffee Cohort members for driving a rich dialogue about the future of work on the boardroom agenda: it was great to join you, NACD Northern California Chapter and my EY colleagues Shari Yocum, Joe Muscat and Donoghue Clarke. A few takeaways: --The future of work is evolving in widely different ways depending on company size, lifecycle stage, strategy and circumstances: there’s no cookie-cutter path. A key question for board members to ask the CEO and CHRO: “Do we have a clear employee value proposition that’s fit for purpose, and how are you cascading it to investment decisions?” --There’s also wide variation in how people learn and collaborate – online, in-person and hybrid – influenced by everything from the pandemic work shift to the rise of global multi-player online games, which could create new opportunities. Boards are seeking to understand how re-skilling and upskilling talent is happening across all segments, from functions and businesses to seniority/tenure levels to geographic location. That said, “The conversations that lead to aspiration tend to happen in person,” and “For younger, newer employees, especially people of color, they need to be seen to be significant.” --With the increased politicization of the ESG acronym, and diversity programs under greater scrutiny, “Companies need to be clear about the why of DEI” – conviction is more important than ever. Companies succeed by demonstrating how diverse teams support strategy and performance. “Boards can help drive that connection by asking for the data, and keep asking over time – Show how it’s embedded in the business, and why it’s a process rather than a program.” #boardmatters #corporategovernance #boarddiversity #dei
