M-power One Planet Campus Engagement Program

SRN Feedback Staff on SRN are motivated to take action in the workplace with 86% reporting they feel motivated to a “great extent” or to “some extent” (SRN Annual Survey 2012) Some SRN staff feel unsure about coming up with ideas to engage with colleagues on sustainability and would like some assistance with this “It would be great to have a monthly focus area with resources and support” “It would be good if there were themes for Departments to focus on with resources provided such as posters, information, targeted messages and actions for implementation” “It might be good to have one topic per quarter and set mini goals for Departments so SRN members have something to go away with that they can sink their teeth into” Source: SRN Annual Evaluation and quarterly meetings
