Board frontier topics: Time to rethink talent in the boardroom
A new Deloitte Global Boardroom Program survey identifies a need for boards to place a stronger focus on talent.
The Deloitte Global Boardroom Program’s new report reveals that while the overwhelming majority of business leaders believe their boards are either very or acceptably informed about workforce-related matters, only about a third believe their board’s workforce-related discussions are adequate to meet their organization’s needs.
To better understand how companies—and their boards, in particular—are prioritizing workforce-related topics, the Deloitte Global Boardroom Program surveyed nearly 500 directors and C-suite executives in more than 50 countries, and spoke with business leaders, investors, and subject-matter specialists for their perspectives. The results reveal that many respondents believe their boards should be more proactive about discussing talent-related priorities.
