Energy-saving posters will encourage employees to save energy in the workplace
Energy saving posters in the workplace
Often, even the most environmentally friendly people forget to conserve resources in the workplace. But earth-friendly habits are important to encourage in the workplace, and it’s important that managers and business owners put the right tools in place to make green habits easy to adopt at work. In addition to being good for the earth, green habits improve a business’s bottom line.
When employees constantly turn off lights and unplug appliances, less energy is needed to run the office. When there are policies in place that require them to turn off screensavers or use sleep modes on their computers, a huge amount of money is saved on electricity bills.
Energy saving slogans are a fun way to gently teach “old dogs new tricks”. Often people operate on autopilot with bad habits that can easily be replaced by earth-friendly practices. This is especially true if the managers or owners of the business have not implemented environmental systems. For example, if a recycling bin is not provided, everyone will more than likely throw their recyclables in the bin instead of taking them with them to an off-site recycling bin. Almost every break room could benefit from a recycling bin and a proper recycling sign. Another great suggestion for posting in break rooms is using reusable utensils and travel cups.
Almost every office uses paper, but not every office has tree-friendly policies like recycling paper, copying on both sides, and printing only what you need. Simply posting these suggestions on the wall with a green sign will make people think twice about wasteful practices.
Energy-saving posters are large enough to describe several environmental practices and are designed to meet the needs of a specific area. There are posters targeting break rooms, copy rooms, lobbies, warehouses and other common areas of the workplace. These posters often contain animated illustrations to demonstrate how to landscape the workplace. Green signs and posters can go a long way in helping employees tread a little more lightly on the ground.
Employees may feel that it is the company’s responsibility to enforce environmental policies. These policies can be established by simply posting appropriate signage in the workplace. This simple step can be effective even without meetings or verbal reinforcement. Often, employees are happy to participate in environmental programs and just need these practices to be suggested and encouraged by a manager first. Workplace landscaping doesn’t have to be a chore anymore. It’s more about changing attitudes. The best way to remind people is to put signs in appropriate places.
One of the most effective energy saving posters doesn’t need to be called a poster at all because it’s only 5″ x 7″. It’s a small sign that goes next to a light switch that simply says “Turn lights off when not in use.” This message must be placed next to each light switch in the workplace.
Don’t let workplace landscaping overwhelm you. Start small and do what you can. Keep it simple and others will follow. Order energy saving posters today and you won’t even need to make an appointment!
