A Sustainable Choice for Attracting Top Talent

Gen Z are looking for companies that walk the walk on sustainability, not just talk the talk. Going green isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a smart business decision that attracts and keeps top talent.

By implementing eco-friendly practices, you’re not just protecting the environment, you’re creating a conscious workplace culture that resonates with today’s generation.

So, what’s the ROI on this “investment” in Earth?
It’s a win-win! You get a dedicated, engaged workforce and a healthier planet.

Let’s break it down:
ROI stands for Return on Investment. It’s basically how much you get back for what you put in. When it comes to Earth, the “investment” is protecting its resources, and the “return” is a thriving business and a happy planet.

Here are some easy eco-actions you can take at work to attract and retain top talent, with benefits for everyone:

  • Give your office a makeover with a sustainable twist! Use recycled pallets for furniture, or host a competition for teams to create eco-friendly decorations from recycled materials.
  • Open the blinds, and embrace the golden hour vibe (save energy).
  • Ditch the Printer Habit (unless double-sided & recycled paper!) – Go digital!
  • Encourage your team to carry their refillable bottles, coffee mugs etc.
  • Skip the plastic utensils, straws, and cutlery at the office.
  • Reuse those notebooks, pens, and paper clips.

It’s those small efforts that can add up to big results!

For innovation to foster and ideas to flow, a diverse set of voices is vital. The idea that diversity is a checkbox to tick rather than a long-term initiative to be taken to make room for all voices is detrimental to an organisation’s health.

As a manager or a founder or even a business owner, here are a few reasons why promoting diversity will be beneficial for your team, start-up, or business.

> Varied Perspectives – Living in a world where there is only one perspective, leads to decisions that are binary in nature and don’t appeal to a larger audience.

> Creativity – When you have people from all walks of life, it is bound to bring in fresh ideas from what they make of the world

> Culture Awareness – Understanding differences is the first step in building internal and external culture for your organization.

> Open Communication – The moment you open yourself and by extension your organization to diverse voices, open communication follows. Which helps in creating both trust in the teams and also building channels for honest dialogue.

This Pride Month and ahead – let’s have a celebration of diversity from the aspect of bringing diverse voices to the table.
