How do you motivate employees to be more concerned about the environment. By making them realize that people are watching and observing. Social acceptance is one of the basic needs of each individual. To make their activities known to more people, you create a incentive for people to go for a better attitude towards environment, i.e. social appreciation of being sensitive.
How do I propose you to do it ?
Well lets say the person in your office is in the habit of not turning of his monitor/system when leaving for the day. What is the best way to make him turn it off? Its not informing boss/HR since, firstly they have enough work to not get involved in this affair, secondly the employee may not actually give any importance to the bosses request in this regard. Also, lets say he follows his orders, it is liable to be a short-term motivation.
The solution may be to put a sticker on his both neighbor's desk saying "Please help saving the environment !! Request your neighbor to turn off the system when he leaves for the day."
Why will this technique work? Well because nobody wants to be recognized as anti-environment. Also since you are spreading the word to 3 people. You are actually involving 3 people in environment protection in any one instance.
Also since the solution depends on people who are friendly to the target person, it will have the impact sans pressure on the employee. Making him more willing to follow.
At last I will say, just spread the word, and use this or any technique which you feel is effective and Save the Environment.We just can't wait to start on the environment day.
