Summary
Think about it. At home, we usually put out our recycle bins on garbage day, have switched to LED household bulbs and take our own bags to the grocery store. We feel good about doing our part to help the environment. Yet, it's a 180-degree turn at work, where lights and computers are left on all night, printers and photocopiers hum constantly, the thermostat fluctuates wildly and the parking lot is crammed with every employee's personal vehicle.
This doesn't have to come as an "inconvenient truth" for employers. The return on investment for going green is obvious in environmental, economic, health and safety rewards. For one, it can help boost worker productivity (who wouldn't rather work in a space filled with natural light over one lit by fluorescent bulbs?). Going green can also increase an organization's competitive advantage in a hot job market. It can create a differentiating brand and perhaps most importantly, it can foster a sense of teamwork among employees and help establish an emotional bond between employee and employer.See the full content of this document
