Executive/Board Reporting: Purpose, Scope, and Cadence
Introduce the purpose, audience, and cadence of executive/board reports for the harassment and diversity program, emphasizing governance focus and decision points.

Overview of reporting for governance

Executive and board reporting provides high level visibility into the Workplace Harassment & Diversity Training program. It supports policy alignment, risk management, and accountability by focusing on outcomes and impact rather than day to day operations. Reports should reflect governance priorities and compliance requirements.

Audience and scope: Reports are prepared for the Steering Committee, executives, and the board. The scope includes incidents overview, remediation status, training progress, policy updates, risk indicators, and resource implications. Each metric should have a defined owner, data source, and a clear decision point to enable timely governance actions.

Cadence and governance cycles: Establish a regular reporting rhythm that matches governance meetings (monthly, quarterly, or per cycle). Include an executive summary, key trends, and recommended actions. Maintain data provenance, version control, and reconciliation processes to ensure trust and auditability.
