BUILD CULTURE AND ENABLE TRANSFORMATION
Today’s young people feel so strongly about their employers’ commitments to making a positive impact on the environment that it is a major consideration on whether to take or stay at jobs.
Companies embracing ecological consciousness initiatives are investing in both their employees’ and the business’s well-being and growth. Employees’ behaviors and moods are more positive. They experience life satisfaction.
Workplaces see increased levels of trust, collaboration, and shared vision.
Equally important, the deep listening, observation, and communication techniques learned for ecological consciousness, crossover to deepen conversations, expand relationships, and build understanding within business situations.
