A good leader favors the autonomy of his collaborators and employees. He shows them the path to follow and the actions to take to achieve the desired objective. An eco-responsible leader must set an example in terms of the right gestures to adopt. They can also invest in the right equipment for this transformation.
Initiating behavior change
In shared offices, virtually everyone uses a computer. All employees also have access to printers, photocopiers and other computer consumables. So it’s important to ask all users to switch off their computers and monitors when they leave. It’s also possible to set up a round-the-clock system to switch off all shared devices. The same concept applies to household appliances such as microwaves and coffee machines. Their plugs should always be unplugged. This task can be assigned to the person who leaves thecoworking space last.
Invest in the right equipment
A waste garbage can is usually placed near every office. As a result, the self-employed throw their garbage in a jumble. It’s possible to do away with them and install large garbage cans in the same place. This concept encourages employees to sort their garbage and dispose of it in the appropriate bin. As far as energy consumption is concerned, many manufacturers offer suitable solutions. These include smart plugs. These cut off electricity when an appliance is not switched off within a certain time.
Limiting waste
Many people have to eat at the office. They often opt for takeaway food, as they can’t cook it at home. However, they create significant waste. Plastic trays, plastic cutlery and plastic water bottles are thrown away after use. The leader can have a complete kitchen fitted out. Each freelance contractor is then able to cook on site. All that’s left to do is clean the utensils after each use. This solution can be an important criterion before signing a lease.
