Employee Engagement - Ecotown
The Employee Engagement Pop-Up-Shop, Ecotown, is a complete integrated service solution which will actively encourage your employees to contribute to your existing environmental policy helping your business to further reduce carbon emissions and costs.
Designed to be a focal point within your business Ecotown is an exciting and unique installation that will unite experts in food, waste, energy and transport ensuring that your staff get the most relevant messages in the key areas outlined in the Scottish Government’s Public Engagement Strategy.
What’s in it for the business?
A recent report from looking at Alcoa found that when engaging employees the organisation realised:[1]
1. Cost savings in reducing emissions and energy-efficiency innovation;
2. Better decision-making in new product development and innovation addressing the organisation’s CSR challenges; and
3. Better community trust and relationships with engaged employees leading to engaging stakeholders proactively and more positively.
By informing your staff of the key issues of environmental sustainability and helping them to understand how they can take positive action to reduce their energy and resource use we hope to create a workforce that not only understand your environmental policy but to also actively contribute towards it, helping you to further reduce your overall energy and resource use, your carbon emissions and, ultimately, your costs.
What’s in it for the participants?
By uniting the delivery partners under the SBC brand we are able to present positive messages, materials, interactive displays and practical hands on guides which will inform and enthuse employees to take direct and positive action.
Research suggests that behaviours learnt in the workplace are often carried through to the home which allows us not only to support businesses with their environmental targets but also to support individuals further supporting Scottish Government’s public engagement strategy.
How much time does it take?
Ecotown can be booked on a day to day basis; we would encourage members to book for a minimum of two days to take full advantage of the project.
