Get everyone on board!

Improve employee engagement and raise morale in the workplace​ by involving every level of hierarchy.

Communicate and raise awareness internally, create a manager role for this purpose, hold recurrent CSR meetings, organize trainings and regular workshops : you’ll be surprised at how many people will want to get involved, even on a voluntary basis!

 A unified, shared and acknowledged CSR strategy will forge a stronger bond between employees and corporations, and aid both in feeling more connected to the world around them.

Quick wins:   Start with a clear structure and use a collaborative platform to follow up on each project and idea, make sure everyone has access to all the information, can contribute and give feedback!

Sponsor a charity or an event , participate as a team if possible (race, etc.) 

Team up with local initiatives

Take a look at what your competitors or similar companies are doing, and get inspired! 

Environmental issues are the easiest to address 

Even the simplest energy efficiency measures can generate savings and make a difference to your business.

• Reduce paper consumption, print less. Say goodbye to flyers, business cards and use QR codes instead
  
• Work with local, environmentally conscious suppliers and distributors
  
•  Of course, go hybrid or even full remote!  The ability to work remotely has become of crucial importance for employment decisions. It's more than just saving money on petrol and time on commute!
  
• Reduce energy consumption in the office: lights, heating, air conditioning, water, electricity ...
  
• With less people working on-site... Maybe it's time to scale down and move to smaller offices or even use coworking spaces only when necessary?

Quick wins: 

Install recycling bins (light bulbs, batteries, etc.)

Organize "green walks" to clean up around your buildings

Facilitate car pooling

Provide staff with locally sourced fruit baskets, sponsor beehives ...

 

With Tamplo, you can unplug your printer: all documents can be uploaded, centralized and accessible to all.

Well-being at work, the real priority

 

A poor atmosphere at work impacts negatively your turnover, your productivity, your reputation.... and  your CSR efforts

Kindness, empathy, positive feedback are the new black!  Why not hire a Happiness manager or conduct employee satisfaction surveys (and act on them)?

Encourage a healthy work/life balance. No calls/email outside of working hours, be aware of your coworkers workload....

 

 

Using a collaborative tool like Tamplo makes all the difference! 

Tamplo will make meetings finally enjoyable, collaborative and shorter!

Its embedded Project Manager will enable everyone to work on their task as they wish and give managers the right balance of autonomy/control that is key to remote working success!

 

 

Let the world know about your CSR initiatives!

 

 

Celebrate wins, congratulate teams, encourage new initiatives and learn from your mistakes! 

Communicate before, during and after your efforts, tell the story of your company's commitment on social netwoks, but also internally.

Make CSR an integral part of your brand identity: consumers will prefer a company whose CSR approach is transparent and visible.

Make your staff/clients/partners proud to have chosen you, so make sure they know of your CSR initiatives.

A recent study shows that 62% of young people want to work "for companies and organisations that seek to deliver a positive environmental and social impact". 

 

 

      Put Meetings in the Spotlight 

 

 Meetings are at the heart of any CSR strategy. Let's make them right!

A meeting that is poorly organised, that lasts too long or where no decisions are taken… will impact negatively your entire project and may demotivate the involved parties.

Here are some tips to boost the motivation and the culture of action of  participants and sparhead successful  meetings:

  Everyone knows why they're in the meeting and what is going to be discussed 
  Information flows well, feedback is collected: everyone has their say
  Documents are shared/uploaded in a collaborative place

   Tasks are assigned during the meeting and no one leaves without a clear roadmap
   Minutes are available to always know "Who said what" and "Who does what"!

 

Guess which tool offers all of the above, and more? 

With Tamplo , meetings become engaging, empowering and lead to actual decisions and action!

 

 

And finally: Go above and beyond!

• 

  Measure and share your progress and become more ambitious as you go along: it's motivating for everyone!
• Choose responsible purchasing and subcontracting partners and communicate about your choices to create an ecosystem of positivity
• Why not get certified for your CSR actions? 
• And of course.... Always reinvent your strategy with new initiatives!
