Change happens through people – use our guidance to build a culture where sustainability is everyone’s job.
The case for resourcing and staffing sustainability programming within health care has grown significantly over the last decade. Even so, it is imperative for an organization, and in particular executive leadership, to prioritize ways to engage all staff, not just those with sustainability in their job title, to realize all the benefits sustainability can bring to the organization.
Staff engagement strategies:
- Create program visibility
- Build capacity for sustainability work and program resilience in the face of staff turnover
- Educate employees on how their roles and lives are connected to sustainability
- Improve employee recruitment, retention, satisfaction, and well-being
- Integrate sustainability into departments, ensuring everyone is empowered to do their part to help the organization achieve its sustainability and emissions reduction goals
