Investing in training is acknowledged by most business experts as important for business health and growth - particularly so during this period of economic recovery. Leaders and managers can benefit from taking the time to learn more about resource efficiency and what it can do for their business. Investing time in training staff members in areas related to environmental management and action, as well as giving them areas of responsibility, will be recognised as a welcome investment in development. As summer and the worst of the recession draws to a close perhaps it is a perfect time to schedule in that learning and help your teams to focus on the future.
Envirowise has a wealth of experience to offer, and has drawn in valuable expert partners to present you with a great series of events and opportunities to learn. On our calendar you will find events and opportunities specific to your industry and local to you — plus there is a handy tool to help you zero in on them. With events on the calendar which span waste, water, packaging, eco-design and other areas you are certain to find something that is spot on target.
We know that your time and that of your colleagues is another precious resource which should not be wasted. As well as physical events and seminars you will also find webinars, audio casts and other innovative learning models which will help you make efficient use of your time.
This season sees a major event, webinar and clinic series that is spot on for the current economy: Reduce Costs Maximise Profits events are already scheduled around England and Wales, with more dates to be confirmed. They are designed for businesses which are at in the early stages of tackling resource efficiency.
- Face to face events will give delegates the opportunity to listen to experts, get involved in interactive workshops, visit the exhibition with organisations such as WRAP, hear from your local Business Link and receive on the spot advice.
- Webinars will provide you with great advice direct to your desk and will include interactive voting and the chance to put questions to the experts.
- Online clinics are also available to those who attend events or webinars but who may want to ask more in depth questions and get quick responses.
