What Is a Board Room?

A board room is a meeting room that is reserved for the Board of directors (or the equivalent of a company’s) to convene for high-level decision making and governance. At these meetings, the board of directors will discuss and decide upon important issues that affect everyone from the employees that a company employs to the investors who own the shares. The board is accountable to many things, including strategic direction, financial planning and policy formulation. While the term boardroom is typically used to refer to a room specifically designed for this purpose meetings can also be held in conference rooms or other spaces that can accommodate the entire group of directors or the entire team.

In recent times, there has been a growing desire to improve diversity in boardrooms as well as other positions of leadership. In the process there are now many tools that allow businesses to easily conduct virtual meetings that can help ensure that diverse voices are heard during critical decisions.

Despite the increasing interest in the diversity of boardrooms and other leadership positions, there are still many hurdles to be overcome in regards to gender equality. One of the biggest challenges is that both genders have different views of what a role in business is suitable for. In this article, Yealink explores the differences and outlines the most important steps to achieve gender equity at work.
