JGA guest blog for the Employee Ownership Association

At JGA we don’t just talk about governance

One of the many ways you can strengthen your governance is by appointing an Independent Trustee.

We were recently invited to share our thoughts on governance for the Employee Ownership Association guest blog. So we decided to outline the 5 ways we believe governance and Employee Ownership go hand in hand.

In preparing our thoughts we called upon the various elements of expertise we have within our team.

Jeremy and Philippa are both Independent Trustees for EO businesses, holding 2 appointments each. Garry and Lisa hold roles within school governance, as governors and Academy Trust Members. Lisa also works as a Governance Professional and supports training for new school clerks. Adrian is a Chartered Corporate Governor, supporting both new and established boards in understanding their responsibilities.

So governance isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we’re involved in delivering across various organisations and we are passionate about the difference it can bring.
