executive and the board. to effectively leverage ceo oversight as a mechanism for preventing and addressing workplace harassment, boards must work to get a more well rounded view of the chief executive's performance while simultaneously respecting the distinct roles of the board and the ceo. beyond the whistle blower policy, the best and primary way to do this is through a thoughtful annual evaluation process that incorporates direct feedback from staff. more specifically, boards should construct an evaluation process that includes at least some of the following inputs. direct 360 feedback from the ceo's direct reports. staff surveys that illuminate cultural issues within the organization, staff retention metrics, and publicly available commentary and feedback. boards that fail to invite team feedback as part of these annual reviews including the 40% of non-profit boards that do not do annual ceo evaluations at all are missing an important opportunity to better understand the ceo's leadership which may in fac
