Engage staff in action

Ensure pro-environmental action is on people’s to-do list and not just the responsibility of the sustainability lead or team

Get straight to the Help section

Are you a sustainability lead that needs:

Everyone to get onboard because you can’t achieve the company’s targets alone?

People to stop kicking action down the line?

Maintain momentum after you have launched your strategy, action plan and targets?

Ways to engage people that don’t take too much time?

Senior leadership to support your work

Have you tried:

Emails, Posters, lunch and learns about why action is urgent and essential?

This is an example of the education approach, but the knowledge action gap shows that even those who care can often carry on with unsustainable behaviours

Taking a behavioral approach to employee and SLT engagement?

Behavioural science demonstrates the barriers to action and the motivators for inaction as well as how to overcome them with tried and tested methods.

By facilitating sessions with your employees and SLT we can uncover their barriers and THEY can identify the behaviourally informed solutions that will work for them as well as how you can support them.

I can support you to engage your senior leaders and/or by:

Facilitating sessions focused on how collectively you can achieve your goals and targets
Facilitating sessions to uncover the barriers and solutions to change
Facilitating the development of your sustainability policy and/or action plan with your teams input

SLT Engagement Sessions

Goal– Get SLT to buy-in and take action on your targets and commitments.

Challenge– SLT don’t see the value of sustainability or pay lip service and don’t commit with action or setting good examples.

Outcomes – Identify the values and triggers that will lead to engagement.

SLT commit to actions to achieve your goals.

Solution – Facilitated session/s with SLT using behavioural science to overcome their preconceptions and blockers.

Case study – Working with SLT and employees to meet Bachy Solentache’s 40% carbon reduction target link

Embedding Environment in Employee’s Work

Goal – All employees actively engaging in environment as part of their day-to-day role.

Challenge – It is just the Sustainability lead and green team who think about environmental impacts in their day to day roles.

Outcomes – Employees identify the actions they can take, what they can do to embed these actions and the support required from the organization to make it happen.

Solution – Facilitated sessions with employees to identify their barriers to action, what they can do to overcome them and ways organization can make it easier for them.

As well as working towards B Corp certification, we’re keen to find ways to improve our knowledge and action around sustainability issues. With this in mind, we asked Livvy to create a staff engagement workshop for us. The workshop used a concept board which was a fun way to collate all our team’s contributions online.

With Livvy’s informed guidance, we covered many aspects of both personal and business sustainability impacts. We’ve ended up with a long list of possible action points to explore – and we’re looking forward to doing some more of her workshops in the future.

Who am I?

I’m Livvy, a behaviour change expert and sustainability consultant on a mission to engage people beyond the green echo chamber and help changemakers, like you, create real impact!

Pre-Blue Planet, I was the person putting up posters around the office about plastic pollution and wondering why nobody cared as much as me.

And then I discovered behavioural science, systems thinking and design thinking. This flipped my approach on its head, to start by investigating the barriers and friction to change. Now I use these principles to engage teams and ensure they are part of the solution when an organisation develops their sustainability agenda.
