Corporate America has spent much of the past few decades building and training it’s workforce to adapt to a competitive world market. Now it is recognizing that it’s time to do the same for the corporate boardroom.
Due to corporate scandals that have tainted public trust, boards must become more transparent and reflective of the constituents they serve.
While it is a proven fact that diverse boards are more profitable and successful, thoughtful recruiting of a diverse board can yield enormous dividends.
New ideas and perspectives will help enrich the organizations direction. And the board will be taking a leadership role in setting an example for the employee base and the organization it is supposed to lead. Building board diversity is a priority no one should choose to ignore.
Because the pool of qualified diversity board candidates is already stretched thin, Pascall uses its management network to recruit qualified members for your board. Achieving this is a measured strategic process that requires a number of key issues be addressed.
· What does “diversity” mean for your organization?
· What barriers exist to bringing in a diverse board?
· What areas of diversity (race, ethnicity, age, sex, location, and occupation) will serve your board best?
· How do you best align your board makeup with your customer base?
· What will be the benchmarks of success?
Once defined, Pascall seeks to match a candidate’s needs, traits, desires and strengths with the defined requirements of the board. We confidentially work with you step by step to identify individuals, who will blend with the chemistry of your board and create a mutually beneficial match.
