Podcast: Cultivating green talent: Pathways to educate employees on sustainable practices?
Featured Speakers:
Nadia Boumeziout, Head of Sustainability & Information Governance, Zurich Insurance
Ezzeddine Jradi, Chief Transformation and Business Excellence Officer, Emicool
To provide training and education on sustainable practices to employees, companies can offer various programs such as workshops, online courses, and certifications. This education can also be integrated into employee job responsibilities by incorporating sustainability goals into performance evaluations and job descriptions. By highlighting the importance of sustainable practices in job responsibilities, employees can become more conscious of their actions and how they can contribute to the company’s overall climate efforts. It can reinforce the importance of sustainable behavior and motivate employees to develop and share their own ideas on sustainable practices.
