Board induction
On appointment, directors take part in an induction programme to
increase their knowledge and understanding of the business. We
provide them with information about BT, our role as a Board and the
matters reserved for our decision. We include: the terms of reference
and membership of the main Board committees; the powers delegated
to those committees; corporate governance policies and procedures,
including the powers reserved to our most senior executives; and the
latest financial information. We organise meetings with each of the
executive and non-executive directors, members of the
Operating
Committee
and senior executives across the business as part of the
induction programme.
Training and information
In addition to the induction programme, we have an ongoing
programme of director development and company awareness. This gives
the non-executive directors an appreciation of the different elements of
the business. We highlight the key features of the programme below.
Key areas Programme
Our business, the competitive
and regulatory environment, and
other changes affecting us and
the communications industry as
a whole
We provide directors with
written briefings and monthly
Investor Relations and Analyst
Relations reports. Directors
also have meetings with senior
executives.
Legal and other duties and
obligations as a director of a
listedcompany
The Company Secretary briefs
directors on appointment and
provides them with updates
both in writing and in face-
to-face meetings. During the
year we provide reminders
of certain obligations, and
updates in changes to legal,
accounting and governance
requirements.
Updates from the Chairman The Chairman sends a weekly
email to non-executive
directors. This includes
updates on key business
activities and topical sector
highlights.
