INSIGHTS FROM NASDAQ GOVERNANCE SOLUTIONS
Onboarding for Impact

Based on the Nasdaq Board Advisory team’s work with boards, some board members who joined boards without a defined education and integration process have indicated that it takes two years before they have the knowledge and ability to contribute fully to the board’s work.
Board members who are onboarded effectively may better understand and be prepared to fulfil their duties, leverage their unique skills and perspectives, and add to the value the board brings to the organization.
