Simple ideas to help you save water at work include:
establishing an ideas box to encourage employees to suggest ways to save water
incorporating water conservation policies and procedures into employee training programs
using communication tools like bulletins, newsletters and emails to send ideas, announcements, progress reports and news of special achievements
communicating water conservation plans and progress in staff meetings
using visual tools like charts and graphs to highlight savings
providing incentives by linking water conservation measures to staff performance reviews.
With help from Sydney Water, multinational pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline, conducted a staff promotion on site to emphasise the importance of water conservation.
"The promotion has provided an opportunity for us to examine current water management practices, and it's raised discussions on what improvements could be made."
