Stepping into the role of Employee Trustee or Director is both a privilege and a responsibility. You’re not only part of your business’ governance structure but become a key employee ownership guardian for all colleagues. 
 
Through expert-led sessions, practical exercises, and shared insight from across the EO community, this course is designed to ensure you understand exactly what you’re signing up to, and how to perform that role with clarity and confidence. 

As well as learning what the role requires, you’ll also explore how to apply it in practice. From financial insight to representing your views alongside employees in decision-making and providing constructive challenge, the course is designed to strengthen your effectiveness from day one. 

Join us for this two and a half day, highly interactive virtual classroom experience that balances expert input, real-world case studies, and peer discussion.  

You’ll also connect with fellow Employee Trustees and Directors from across the EO community, building a valuable professional network to support your ongoing EO journey.
