Sustainability in the Workplace: What you can do today to align your workplace with your commitment to sustainability

If your company is truly focused on corporate and global sustainability, your workplace is a key part. What does it mean to be a company committed to sustainability in the workplace? 

A sustainable workplace is one in which the company and the employees understand and share expectations, work together to meet those expectations, and each are rewarded when those expectations are met. This means less turnover, less drama, less risk, increased employee satisfaction and more time to focus on your vision.  How do you create this sustainable workplace?

In this interactive webinar, you will walk away with tools for determining the foundational pieces you already have in place for a sustainable workplace, and recommendations for enhancing that foundation. We will focus on three foundational areas; your hiring practices, your communication of expectations and how to reinforce your expectations during employment.

The webinar will include the following:

• Pre employment practices you can initiate to ensure you are hiring employees in alignment with your vision and values, while protecting the company and establishing clear expectations at the start of the relationship;

• Setting expectations, protecting the company and capturing a shared vision through the employee handbook;

• Managing performance for mutual reward 

Who Should Attend:

Business owners and executive leaders, Human Resources staff, Managers, Compliance Officers, Staffing Specialists
