This month, Principal & Co-owner Margie Flynn authored our guest column on GreenBiz.com entitled: “The four stages of engaging employees on sustainability.” Below is an excerpt from the column.
As a speaker at the recent Sustainability Leadership Forums in New York and Chicago, I had the opportunity to talk about ways employee engagement benefits corporations, from increasing employee retention and satisfaction, to positive financial impact.

Furthermore, in the context of our regular column, employee engagement is a critical component of organizational change and development. Without the buy-in and support of employees, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to make any type of organizational change within a company.
