One Mission – One Team
A strong relationship between your board and senior staff is essential for truly effective operations. BellesBoard strengthens this relationship by improving communication, emphasizing transparency, and clearly stating the roles each individual fills. Using BellesBoard as your board portal will not only help foster this relationship when a new CEO or other senior leadership team member joins the organization, it may help assuage less than optimal relationships between existing board members and senior staff, should any exist.
Communication is Key
Communication is fundamental in any professional environment. With BellesBoard, communication between users is simplified. Information is disseminated through the click of a button, and everyone is kept up to date with clear instructions, identification of roles, and reminders. Important documents and data will no longer get lost in translation between a board member and senior staffer. Instead, it is streamlined for maximum efficacy. All the information your board needs – is uploaded to one central location – empowering any user to simply log on to retrieve the data they need.
“Who’s on my committee? When is that meeting? Where are the minutes?”
Contact information for board members and staff is readily available when needed. Board and committee meeting information is available with a click, thereby eliminating the time spent playing phone tag or searching through emails to find that information. And, with the mobile app, users can ‘chat’ quickly and easily. This added layer of convenience is quickly becoming a favorite among our users.
Boards Benefit with Increased Transparency
With BellesBoard’s emphasis on ensuring information is easily accessible, transparency is increased and mission impact grows. As a result, the following benefits will be realized:
- More effective communication and sharing
- Better board member engagement and satisfaction
- Stronger organization culture
- Better relationships with constituents
- Improved perception of prospective board members
BellesBoard Preserves & Secures Your Organization’s Institutional Knowledge
BellesBoard keeps all documents as a digital copy that can be adjusted or updated at any time. This reassures both the board and senior staff, knowing that all necessary documents are accessible online, in a secure environment. It also keeps all relevant parties informed when a new policy is implemented, such as diversity and inclusion policies, which, now more than ever, are crucial to shareholders and investors.
Less Stress – Better Results
BellesBoard helps eliminate the stress of handing everyday administrative and management work. By setting well timed reminders and better distributing tasks, BellesBoard eases the tension that may be caused by having to remind others to complete their tasks. Once this stress has been alleviated, boards and their senior staff are better able to work together as a team. In doing so, trust and camaraderie will increase, helping to sustain a successful collaborative environment. In such an environment, strategic thinking, advancing the organization’s mission, and a collective sense of pride for a job well done will be the outcome.
Use BellesBoard to inspire trust between your board and your senior staff; without that trust, you will be fighting the process every step of the way.
