CXO Coaching and Board Advisory
Today’s CXOs and board members operate under intense regulatory, investor and public scrutiny, especially when it comes to culture, conduct and insider risk. Even robust controls can fail if leadership does not ask the right questions, read the right signals or document decisions properly.
HRMP supports Directors, KMPs and senior executives with targeted coaching and advisory so that governance on people-risk is not left to chance or informal judgement.
Board and committee advisory on people-risk
- Advise Boards, Audit Committees and Risk Committees on how to interpret whistleblowing, POSH, misconduct and culture data in the context of enterprise risk.
- Help define and refine committee charters, information flows and meeting rhythms so people-risk receives structured, recurring attention.
- Support boards in setting expectations for management on ERA, internal vigilance, culture and leadership accountability, including what “good” looks like in documentation and follow-through.
CXO one-on-one coaching on ERA and culture
- Provide confidential coaching to CEOs, CHROs, CFOs, CROs and business heads on how to navigate complex people-risk situations and culture challenges.
- Strengthen CXO capability to lead ERA, Compliance & Vigilance, Strategic HR Transformation and Leadership Accelerator initiatives with clarity and conviction.
- Offer a sounding board on sensitive decisions such as handling high-profile misconduct, structural changes, leadership exits or regulatory interactions.
Personal liability risk mapping for directors and KMPs
- Map where directors and key managerial personnel could be personally exposed under Companies Act, SEBI norms, POSH obligations and global client contracts.
- Highlight gaps in controls, information flows or documentation that could be interpreted as negligence or lack of oversight in investigations or litigation.
- Recommend pragmatic steps—such as better board packs, documented challenges to management, and strengthened vigil mechanisms—to reduce individual vulnerability.
Confidential coaching
- One-on-one or small-group sessions for CXOs and directors conducted under strict confidentiality, with clear boundaries and objectives.
- Can be structured as a short, intensive series focused on a specific situation, or as periodic sessions to support ongoing leadership and governance challenges.
Board offsites and workshops
- Curated offsites or in-room workshops for boards and committees on themes like insider risk, culture oversight, crisis response and leadership accountability.
- Use enterprise-specific context and case simulations to drive practical discussion, build alignment among directors and sharpen questions for management.
Ongoing advisory retainer
- Continuous access to HRMP advisors for the Chair, Committee Heads or select CXOs on people-risk, culture and governance questions.
- Includes periodic reviews of key incidents, ERA reports, whistleblowing data and transformation progress, with independent perspectives and recommendations.
Effective CXO & Board Advisory improves both the quality of governance and the defensibility of decisions when incidents occur.
Stronger oversight
- Boards and CXOs gain clearer visibility into people-risk and culture issues, and greater confidence in the adequacy of ERA and vigilance mechanisms.
Better documentation
- Key discussions, challenges, decisions and follow-up actions are documented in a way that demonstrates diligent oversight to regulators, auditors and courts.
Defensible decisions in investigations or litigation
- When incidents are scrutinized, leadership can show that reasonable and timely steps were taken, based on structured information and expert advice, reducing chances of adverse findings on governance.
These benefits directly support enterprise resilience, investor confidence and leadership reputation.
Schedule a Board Advisory Briefing
Arrange a confidential briefing with HRMP’s senior advisors to review your current board and CXO oversight of people-risk, culture and ERA. In this session, you will explore potential exposure points, discuss best-practice governance approaches and identify how CXO & Board Advisory support can strengthen both institutional and personal protection.
