Employee engagement campaign on sustainability
In 2021, we ran an employee survey and workshop which indicated that our employees wanted to continue making positive contributions to sustainability in work, at home and in their communities, but that a lack of information was the biggest barrier. Based on these insights, we launched an employee engagement campaign to provide more regular, accessible and interactive information about sustainability issues and to motivate and inspire employees to take positive practical actions.
Themes included: eco-transport, diversity and inclusion, renewable energy, climate action, and biodiversity. The campaign was designed to be accessible to all employees by multi-channel delivery through emails, webinars, workshops, and our Post People employee app, reinforcing the message that sustainability is a core part of our business purpose and strategy.
Following the campaign’s completion in 2022, we will be the first company in Ireland to have a 12-month employee engagement programme accredited by Change by Degrees. This will help to establish the threshold that will qualify other companies for accreditation in future. It includes third-party verification of results and assessment of impact through employee surveys.
