The pre-requisite for any investment in environmental sustainability performance management to achieve a high return on investment, whether that is in consulting fees or software costs, is that internal resources have a deep understanding of the principles and best practices in environmental sustainability management.
At CliMetrics® (an EcomNets company), our approach to training always follows four basic principles:
Understand the overall goals of the business and why the investment in environmental sustainability performance
Interview the trainee(s) well in advance of the training activity to ensure a good understanding of the business context, their role(s) and frame expectations
Deliver an interactive session with a high level of engagement from the participant(s) including exercises based on day-to-day activities
Follow up after a 10-day cooling-off period to clear up any doubts and answer new questions
This process ensures that both the trainees and the trainers do not waste time on unnecessary topics and that trainees can leave the session equipped with clarity and usable knowledge.
