Green Office Academy
Train Your Employees About Sustainability. Let Them Drive The Cause.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL FOR ANY CORPORATE TRANSFORMATION
Sustainability education can support a company’s initiatives in two ways. First, it can serve as a broad introduction to aspects of sustainability to support the decision-making process. Or it can provide supplementary technical information as well as guidance on implementation once the sustainability initiatives have been established. Either way, good corporate training guides employees through the range of sustainability topics relevant to their company’s goals, business strategy, operations, and ultimately their own jobs.
ONLINE COURSES HAVE COME OF AGE
There is a rich array of online courses that have become available, bolstered no doubt by the increased use of digital products during the pandemic. While much of it tends to be self-study with generic content, some companies offer more tailored and interactive education. Some of these providers also offer certified continuing education.
