Engaging Employees

As a consulting firm that has worked with dozens of organizations, we’ve seen the ups and downs of sustainability efforts, and we’ve come to realize that employee engagement is the most powerful tool.

At the beginning of every sustainability journey, there’s often a flood of excitement and enthusiasm, but we’ve found that after even just one year, a company’s efforts can lose steam. At Sustainable Business Consulting, we are experts at re-capturing and maintaining that initial enthusiasm to ensure your company can continuously reap the rewards of an engaged workforce.

Training

The first step is to provide the knowledge and tools employees need so they can contribute well-informed ideas. We train our clients on high-level issues and tailor our trainings to suit different departments within the business.  

We have a full suite of trainings that cover the gamut. We will ensure your employees can:

• Understand the basics of sustainability
• Measure and track key metrics
• Implement successful initiatives and programs
• Communicate successes and lessons learned

Our trainings are specifically designed for a variety of audiences and are customized to best fit your company’s needs. We can train individual departments on what’s most important to them and train employees across the board on specific sustainability issues. 

Audiences:

• Experienced sustainability professionals
• Departments interested in improving their sustainability performance(e.g. Human Resources, Facilities, Communications, etc.)
• Company executives and mid-level managers

Engagement

The trainings mentioned above provide a great jumping off point for engagement efforts.

There are always a few employees within your organization that will demonstrate a particular passion. If you aren’t engaging them, you’re wasting your most valuable resource. With our help, you can get their ideas, excitement and determination to work for you in ways you’ve never seen before.  Whether you are looking to better your environmental impact, improve your social performance or improve the effectiveness of planned initiatives, employee engagement with Sustainable Business Consulting will make it happen.

We can help guide you and provide the necessary tools to: launch specific initiatives, inspire innovative ideas, spur the right conversations, and more. Your employees will feel empowered and will make a difference in how the company is run, and your business will benefit from the results.
