Technologies Optimization to Increase Environmental Awareness and Employee Engagement in the Workplace
Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent years, increasing environmental awareness in the workplace has become a highly relevant topic for many organizations. Technology, particularly apps and digital platforms, plays a crucial role in increasing employee participation in sustainability initiatives. By using technology, companies can educate employees, monitor sustainability practices, and create spaces for their active engagement in reducing their carbon footprint and managing resources efficiently. In this research, it is examined how technology can facilitate increased environmental awareness and how companies can optimize such technology to increase overall organizational performance. The use of technology for sustainability not only increases the quality of environmental management, but also strengthens the company's commitment to long-term sustainability. Going forward, companies need to ensure that every employee has equal access to the technologies used to raise environmental awareness and create a more personalized and enjoyable experience. This research highlights the importance of creating a culture of sustainability in the workplace through technology, and how this can support better and more sustainable organizational performance.
