How do you affect change and get the backing of staff at all levels within an organisation?
Sustainability
Sustainability is becoming a hugely important issue for all businesses regardless of size. Being in business is not just about profitability but being profitable whilst minimising impact on the environment.
Many organisations have or are in the process of drawing up policies and guidelines defining their approach to sustainable business and the environment. The real challenge, however, is how to get the backing of staff at all levels within an organisation to make the change happen.
There is an opportunity here for businesses to not only get the message across through e-learning but to create communities allowing individuals to collaborate and share ideas on sustainability. Change can be both internal – understanding and minimising the carbon footprint of a business and external the kind of suppliers used and the kinds of business partners and companies an organisation might invest in.
The benefits are multifold – it generates positive PR, can save money by making processes more efficient and less wasteful and in many cases open up new business opportunities.
Cimex have extensive experience around this particular kind of change management through our partnerships with the Energy Saving Trust, GLA (Planet DIY repairs) and our innovative You Tube like video portal Big Picture TV plus our experience in creating online communities and innovative corporate e-learning.
