Get staff involved

It’s important to get staff involved in the steps your business is taking to become more water efficient.

Here are some ideas:

encourage staff to report leaks, for example ensure that cleaners—even if externally contracted—know where to report leaking taps and toilets
display posters that educate and encourage staff to be more water efficient, download and print a free poster (PDF, 50K)* for your workplace
ensure senior staff and managers model good behaviours in relation to water use
identify water efficiency champions
set targets and track your progress with staff
display water usage and saving charts in the staffroom or kitchen
make water usage updates a standing agenda item in meetings
discuss and provide training about the water-efficient use of appliances and equipment
send water saving ideas and progress reports to staff in newsletters, emails and bulletins
include water efficiency policies and procedures in staff induction and training programs
establish an incentive program that recognises staff with water saving ideas
celebrate your success with staff.
