Creating an energy saving culture in your team

A strong focus on energy saving is a key part of running a SME efficiently. It’s also a great way to build your team.

• Pulling together as a team to save energy can help to improve collaboration skills and staff morale.

• Invite your staff to submit their best energy saving ideas. Staff members who come up with ways to reduce your energy bills will encourage others to follow their example.

• If your staff learn how to reduce their energy use at home, they’re more likely to reduce it at work. One initiative they can take part in is ‘The 10% Challenge’ at EnergyCut.info/ten-percent. This website shows your staff how to reduce their home energy bills by 10% or more.
