An estimated 500 million people will participate in various Earth
Day activities worldwide, so why not use it as an opportunity to
strengthen camaraderie and tap into teamwork? Several employee studies
conclude that morale and employer confidence increase when businesses
implement productive green initiatives. Additionally, in many recent
surveys, consumers have stated that they are more likely to do business
with an eco-conscious company.
Here are five ways to engage employees on Earth Day, which is on April 22nd.
Game on! Dale Carnegie's 21st Human Relations principle is, 'Throw down a challenge.' There are many ways to turn Earth Day into a co-worker competition. For
example, three companies in Texas broke the world record for collecting
and shredding 11,920 pounds of paper in a 24-hour period. Be
creative in terms of team assemblies-match department against
department or the Executive Team against individual department teams. Consider
launching a departmental old technology drive where employees can bring
in broken or old computers, cell phones, printers and other devices. The
team with the most units wins. Contact your local school board to see
if the functioning equipment is needed or a computer recycling firm to
retrieve everything. You could also join worldwide movements such as Billion Acts of Green, or Earth Hour.
