Being Smarter

This is a really short post to remind Being Smarter viewers who work for the biggest 5,000 companies in the UK that in April, your world is going to change.

No longer can companies turn a blind eye to leaving the lights on, to not regulating heating properly or not EDUCATING their employees as to the importance of energy efficiencies.

The CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme will kick in from April, where those 5,000 companies will be ranked according to the change they make in their businesses over the coming months and years. Part of that change process involves educating employees.

Do you know know how you will educate yours? How can you train 00′s or 000′s of employees across dispersed geographies?

We have a solution. Our training venture, The 8.45 Club has teamed up with a leading futuroligist, Dr Graeme Codrington to produce a 12 module video course which can be delivered to desktops over a few weeks without impacting on employee productivity or incurring huge travel and off the road expenses.

You can buy this CRC energy efficiency scheme training course right here, right now… OR if you would like to have a tailored version delivered to your employees, then talk to us. We’re a friendly bunch and know what we’re doing.

Don’t leave it. It has to be tackled.

In April of 2010, the UK government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme began in earnest and it will have an immediate huge impact on over 5,000 businesses in the UK. It will have a similar impact to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, and the upcoming cap and trade legislation in the USA and elsewhere. These schemes require companies to reduce their energy usage, and limit their contribution to CO2 emissions, or face significant penalties. Those who do well will be rewarded with payments being made to them. This could radically alter competition in many industries.

Part of the commitment that these businesses will need to sign up to is education. Education of employees, supplier and customers to make change. To make change when it comes to conserving energy and being more efficient with our uses of energy.

This will be a daunting task for many of these businesses and so The 8.45 Club has teamed up with Tomorrow Today – experts in all things sustainable to launch a 12 part video-based course delivered to desktops.

The course is available right now and features as the presenter – Dr Graeme Codrington -a futurologist and professional speaker who translates the requirements of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme into business speak. Importantly he focuses on the benefits this legislation will bring as well as taking you through some of logistical issues businesses will face. It’s a practical course aimed at changing behaviour and attitudes, and having a positive bottom line impact on your organisation.
