What we can do for you - if you are an employer
Why board-level volunteering?
Getting on Board works with companies to help them integrate board level volunteering into their learning and development programmes. There are many benefits for employers and their employees. These can include:
- Learning and developing new skills
- Improving work-life balance and employee satisfaction
- Contributing to corporate responsibility commitments for the company.
Board level volunteering is an attractive option for many employees but particularly senior and middle managers and those that have been identified as future leaders.

Seminars
Getting on Board seminars can kick-start board-level volunteering within your organisation. Often over lunch or breakfast the seminars are aimed at letting people know about the benefits of board level volunteering and encouraging them to take the plunge and volunteer. All those that attend the seminar will also be able to access our signposting service which helps them find a suitable role.
Email us if you would like to arrange a seminar.
Signposting service
The Getting on Board signposting service helps individuals find the right trustee role. As part of the service individuals can expect a 30 minute phone consultation and at least four opportunities to consider applying for as well as follow-up support. This service is quick to implement and often funded by individual training budgets held by managers.
Email us if you would like to find out more.
Getting on Board is a registered charity, and, although we do not make a profit, we do have to cover our running costs. We therefore have to charge a fee for our sign-posting service. Most people that come to us are able to charge this to their individual training budgets through work. This is payable after the phone discussion although search support continues beyond this call.
