Clerking in action - managing the clerking workload effectively (A) (online)

Clerks and governance professionals play a vital role in supporting effective governance—but the demands of the role can be significant. This practical and engaging session explores the realities of managing the clerking workload and offers straightforward strategies to help you stay organised, focused and in control.

Together, we will consider common challenges such as balancing multiple deadlines, managing competing priorities and maintaining compliance, alongside the core responsibilities of the clerk. You will be introduced to practical tools and approaches—including prioritisation techniques, time management strategies, and the use of templates and checklists—to help streamline your work and reduce pressure.

The session will also explore how to work effectively with chairs and boards to share the workload, strengthen governance practice and ensure key tasks are completed efficiently and to a high standard.
Ideal for both new and experienced clerks, this session provides an opportunity to reflect on your current practice, share experiences with others, and leave with practical ideas you can implement straight away.
