If we really want to start a groundswell movement towards real-time sustainability, first we have to face some facts.
Regardless of the industry you work in or the niche of which you are part, progress can be made in;
💎 Sustainable materials
💎 Waste management
💎 Engagement and innovation
💎 Advancing productivity
The first two are specialisms that others can advise on; it's the people-centric qualities of your business that everyone values on a personal level, so that innovation and higher productivity become sustainable - making a reality of continuous improvement.
For change to be effective, the whole employee base has to buy into it.
Once people begin to make choices that make sense (because everyone is benefitting from them and they are positively enjoyable), nobody wants to go back to the way things were. A couple of employees needing to grumble due to embedded personal tendencies aren't going to stop the wave of change from coursing through the company. In fact the whole process of elevation may be so disquieting for them that they freely leave, leaving space for those (and there will be plenty of them) who want to work in a progressive, empowered environment where they can thrive.
Sooner or later (and hopefully sooner) the movement towards engagement is going to overtake the old paradigms that say with croaking, rusty voices, "Nothing's going to change around here," and "There's the door if you don't like it." Change is a universal inevitability - you either get it to work in your favour or let negativity run riot because it can.
When change works in our favour (because we've made the right choices) magical transformations get the chance to actually happen.
Making waves on the currents of new company values that walk the talk on behavioural sustainability, those who share a passion for positive advancement can join us on the journey. SEEn (Strategic Engagement in Engineering) is a real group of leaders who are putting new paradigms into action.
Get in touch if you'd like to be making waves, too.
