Sustainability in the work space: This is how powerful office managers are
As a freelancer, I get around a lot and I feel very fortunate to be able to see how sustainability shows up in the workspace. It’s sometimes shocking to see how even the most sustainably-minded businesses don’t have the simplest sustainability practices in place.
Not long ago, I got offered tea in a single-use cup by a so-called environmentally conscious startup.
I feel we can all do better.
In my opinion, it’s the office managers who have a great power to make our workspaces more sustainable.
And so I sometimes wonder why more office managers don’t apply their power of inspiring and educating a whole team of people. All it takes are just a few little changes.
I’d love to offer this as a consulting service and help teams become more sustainable in their workplaces. Yet, should this service not pick up, I’m also happy to just share ideas to make sustainability a lived value and not just a term that’s used as a marketing buzzword. Please forward this article to your office manager or your friend who works as one. Just tell them it’s got some good ideas.
