Creating Sustainable Offices: Employee Engagement Perspective
Authors: Marius Brazdauskas, Lina Žirnelė
Issue: 2020, Vol. 6
Abstract
The term “green office” or “sustainable office” refers to sustainable office practices that help reduce the environmental impact of our office activities and contribute to sustainable development. This paper is a conceptual contribution to an ongoing debate on how to promote and advance green office creation and support employee engagement. It focuses primarily on initiatives which can be implemented by active employee engagement, motivation and initiative; therefore, this paper does not discuss green building design elements or infrastructural solutions of green office design. The aim of this paper is to provide guidelines on how employees can contribute to green office creation based on their initiative and motivation, and express their “green creativity” in solving everyday sustainability challenges. The paper emphasizes three basic trajectories of action: creating an enabling environment for a green office, promoting sustainable office consumption, waste management, and healthy environment.
Keywords: green office, sustainable office, environmental management, sustainable consumption, waste management, healthy environment, creative solutions, employee engagement.
