Staff are often one of the single largest drivers of energy use and energy waste in modern business. Figures suggest that almost 20% of the energy consumed in the UK is used ineffieciently; this wasted energy amounts up to around £10 billion each year. Energy Management is the most important aspect in an organisation and enthusiastic, knowledgable and well-trained staff can play a key role in reducing the energy consumption in every business.

Envantage Training provides bespoke training courses for staff in both the public and private sectors, tailored to meet your organisation's specific requirements. Strategies are composed to raise awareness and encourage staff to participate in any activities that may propose a sufficient amount of "energy management".

Presentations

Envantage can provide a number of staff training packages to suit your excact requirements - from one-day seminars for managers and team leaders to one-hour lectures for hundreds of staff. Using the latest statistics and information from research carried out around the world, we can illustrate the importance of energy efficiency and it's effects on everything from climate change to your company profits. In order to create an effective energy policy, it is most important that each organisation educates it's staff so that they are aware of the different ways to improve their energy management, not just in the workplace but in the home also.

Training

For an organisation to contribute fully, a full training programme is needed. Envantage can provide a complete package which includes inductions for new employees, development of work procedures, internal marketing campaigns such as posters, regular reviews and workshops which enables the staff to not only gain a substantial amount of knowledge, but to work as a group and develop ideas.

Different Roles

Every staff member can play a different role in energy management. If a staff member is an energy user then they can be appointed as an "energy manager". The organisation can divide their team up into individual sectors and can carry out different tasks.

• The Senior Managers can provide overall support within the energy efficiency system. The notion of "energy champions" comes into place to keep the energy campaign up and running.
• Middle Managers organise the energy efficiency activities within a workplace.
• The workforce are the people who observe the energy that they use and enable the success of energy management.

The idea of Energy Champions is to appoint individuals in each area of the organisation who will act as a focus for that particular sector. They can communicate with the management to develop energy saving ideas from the workforce.

Other Training

As well as appointing individuals as energy champions, other strategies will be suggested to encourage energy managment. Other ideas include, developing an effective policy or action plan which will be reviewed on a regular basis, establish an effective poster campaign that is not just appointed to the canteen, develop awareness by giving presentaions in each department and publicise the organisation to make people aware of the energy efficiency. All of these strategies vary from company to company and the basic staff training will establish which strategy is best suited.

Envantage can not only help to develop different strategies towards energy efficiency, but they can also give awareness and understanding training. This enables the employees to become aware of why we should save energy, the impact on inefficiency, what energy management is, what role the employee plays in energy management and what the employee can do personally to make a difference.
