People are increasingly interested in making healthy and environmentally friendly choices at work and at home, and your intranet can support this way of life. Use your intranet to engage and educate employees on greener lifestyles with our top ten tips.
Top Ten Tips for a Greener Intranet
Tip #1: Create a Green Community sub-site
Spearhead your campaign with a Green Community area of the intranet, and then add in collaborative apps like the ones below.
Tip #2: Suggestion box
- Give employees a voice to share ideas and feedback
- Encourage comments and “like” of ideas
- Start contests and give prizes
- Promote interest & others to join the conversations
Tip #3: Green Tip of the Day
Create a Green Tip of The Day widget… like “did you know that using a French press is the greenest way to make your daily cup of coffee?” or encourage staff to bring their lunches in reusable containers to reduce packaged waste
Tip #4: Community Initiatives
Register employees for community initiatives using the training application; management is done automatically by the app!
Tip #5: Documents and Policies
Post electronic brochures with attractive and friendly visuals. For example, create posters that show how to sort waste in kitchen recycling, compost and garbage bins.
Tip #6: Discussion Board
Encourage employees to post green topics for conversation … “Should the office add compost bins in the kitchen?”
Tip #7: Contest widget
Run environmentally friendly contests that have staying power:
