Travel plans, car policies, energy usage - endless 'green' potential for public sector HR
26th March 2008
With governmental plans to create a low-carbon economy and the delivery of the 'greenest budget' yet earlier this month, it matters now more than ever for public authorities to adjust their working practices and environmental policies accordingly. Travel plans, car policies and energy usage are all areas, which have endless 'green' potential - but how can your organisation really make an impact and help reach the government's zero carbon targets?
In the public sector, Human Resources is steadily becoming the driving force behind the green initiative within the workplace and with their finger firmly on the pulse of key people issues such as employee recruitment and retention and staff engagement it is no wonder HR are already making a huge impact on the environmental agenda.
We hope you can join us and colleagues from organisations including London Fire Brigade, The British Library, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Forrestry Commission and Good Energy, at JSB's 'must-attend' event 'Green HR', which will provide a unique opportunity to find out how your organisation can reap the rewards of going green.
