In today’s competitive landscape, an emphasis on the Triple Bottom Line (i.e., financial, social, and environmental performance) is essential for organizational success. In this workshop, attendees will explore evidence-based strategies for integrating sustainable practices into organizational culture, learn how to effectively communicate and execute these initiatives, and discover the role of employee behavior as the core to the success of these initiatives. By prioritizing sustainability, organizations contribute to the value proposition to drive both employee satisfaction and retention and long-term organizational success.
