This resource is part of the Governance Workload and Wellbeing Toolkit 2026. Respondents identified recruitment, retention, succession planning and recognition as growing concerns. Many described governance relying heavily on small numbers of committed individuals. Effective governance depends on people. People are more likely to remain involved when expectations are clear, support is available, contributions are recognised and development is encouraged.
