5 Mistakes Made When Giving Directors Access to Employees

Directors get familiar with C-suite officers through the normal course of their duties. These officers give presentations at board & committee meetings. They get invited to socialize with the board after the board meetings.

But sometimes, a director might want to gain access to a senior officer outside of the board meeting framework. Or perhaps the director wants to meet rank & file employees to get a better feel for the company’s morale & culture. Does that pose a problem?

Here are five mistakes made when providing directors with access to officers & employees:

• Being too restrictive
• Not being the gatekeeper beyond senior managers
• Giving confusing messages to the rank & file
• Interfering with whistleblowing
• Allowing pop-in’s
