Staff Engagement
Staff engagement is a powerful aspect of any sustainability program, as it should be both a benefit and a driver of change. Sustainability Advantage partners work to harness the ideas and enthusiasm of their people, allocate responsibilities wisely, build capacity and skills of staff, and see the resulting achievements generate further ideas and energy.
The Staff Engagement module design responds to the needs and culture of each company, and allows each to build and pursue its own engagement strategy. It considers initiatives driven by other Sustainability Advantage modules, and identifies how best to build support for them – with education and training, leadership behaviour, social events and initiatives, peer and internal forums, communication and signage, mentoring and recognition.
A key feature of Staff Engagement is the selection and mentoring of sustainability 'champions' to help build energy and implement sustainability actions.
While results depend on a company's own efforts, Sustainability Advantage assists its partners with:
- practical workshops;
- a comprehensive range of guides, case studies and templates;
- phone and email advice;
- feedback on company documents;
- and one-on-one specialist support.
Partners also work in a cluster of like-minded companies that offer mutual support, networking opportunities and specialist seminars. Partners' efforts towards sustainability are promoted through the Sustainability Advantage recognition program.
