On-site ESG upskilling
There is no shortage of e-learning offers, generic ESG courses, and specialist training. We go against the tide by insisting on traditional on-site training that equips selected functions to translate the ESG strategy into concrete action.
Without conversation, dialogue, and hands-on work with real behavior, company-specific dilemmas, and action plans, ESG efforts remain stuck on slides and with a single employee.
Imagine that all relevant employees, from procurement to sales, are able to execute the ESG strategy, making your company the one that achieves savings, engages suppliers, and wins new customers.
​
Learning and building confidence in turning sustainability strategy into actions among your workforce is critical to make the company act and move the needle on sustainability.
​​
When upskilling employees in capabilities within sustainability and ESG, a key focus is to provide them with industry-relevant knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to understand and address relevant environmental and social issues within their specific roles. This includes training in areas such as sustainable business practices, compliance, resource management, and sustainable product development and design. Additionally, it is important to provide employees with opportunities to apply their newly acquired skills and knowledge through projects, initiatives, and other real-world applications.
We follow certain key well-tested steps that we know work effectively when getting your hands dirty on sustainability.
We start by assessing the ESG-strategy and relevant functions and employees and the current level of knowledge and capabilities on ESG. This step involves identifying gaps in capabilities to deliver on the strategy to set up an onsite training program.
​
We develop a program that addresses the identified gaps in capabilities and skills, to effectively go from strategy and intent to tangible actions and action planning.
We deliver the selected training through relevant cases, dialogue and conversations and actively assist in drawing up effective action plans all functions in a solid template.
We provide employees with the resources and support their need to continue learning and applying their sustainability knowledge and skills over time.
We measure progress and evaluate the effectiveness of the training program. This step involves assessing the impact of the training program on employees' knowledge, skills, and behavior, as well as identifying areas for further improvement.
Key insights on sustainability are important to employees because it provides them with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to get the work done on sustainability matters. This helps employees make more informed decisions, work more efficiently, and contribute to the company's sustainability goals.
Moreover, having strong sustainability culture and insights within the company improves employee engagement, motivation, and retention. Providing employees with ongoing support and resources for learning and development in sustainability is a key step in building a more sustainable future.
