Knowledge on governance, effective relationships between Trust and Executive Boards and advocating the value of employee voice

Whilst there is no legal requirement for your Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) Board to have an independent trustee, many employee-owned businesses gain considerable benefit from a genuine ‘outsider’s perspective.’ I currently act as an independent trustee for a number of employee-owned businesses of different sizes in varying sectors. This experience allows me to offer you genuine insight on governance, effective relations between the EOT Board and the operational board, ensuring leaders hear and respond to the voice of employees, and act as a support to your employee trustees.
