Mobilise your workforce!

Companies and consultants are now offering to assist business to 'engage' workers in climate change activities. Participation at work in carbon reducing actions and developing, recognising and rewarding the right environmental behaviours are now good business strategies. See for example: http://www.changeboard.com/hrcircles/blogs/csr/archive/2008/08/28/employ...

Advice includes that concepts of reducing emissions needs to filter through the whole organisation in order to achieve the stated objectives. If real behavioural change is to be achieved and sustained, then reinforcement, recognition and reward of those behaviours needs to take place on an ongoing basis. Company intranets can also provide a good tool to provide employees with easily accessible educational advice about how they can effectively reduce their carbon emissions, not only in the workplace, but within their commute and at home. In addition, there should also be an area which provides employees with a series of definitions, glossary of terms and common myth busters, to ensure they are aware of all the complexities involved in deploying a low carbon strategy. Podcasts and webinars also provide another, more interactive way of delivering educational materials.
