How involved are your staff?

Are they proud of working with your organisation? Do they speak positively about your services and products? Will they go the extra mile for you and your customers? In Involved Employees we look at what gets in the way of people thriving on their work and how to fix this. Get involved at involved employees.com or contact us at involved@ergoclear.com

Save money, build customer and staff respect

It used to be “the economy stupid” but now it is the environment. Firms are taking tough stances on environmental costs and they are beginning to understand that it all starts with their own staff. This article suggests seven keys to make sure your staff buy into your environmental policies, and they start at the top:
1. Getting buy-in from senior management
2. Appointing environmental champions (if you are not appointed champion does that make you a loser?)

4. Good communications
5. Putting environmental issues in the induction programme
6. Running suggestion schemes
7. Recognising individual achievements
