Here with Virginie Francoeur | How to reduce ecoanxiety through green practices in the workplace?
This webinar aims to understand eco-anxiety in the light of change management, to provide a guide for employees and organizations wishing to reduce their colleagues’ eco-anxiety and mobilize them by proposing courses of action.
Designed as a fun activity in the form of a card game to measure the eco-responsible behaviours of employees (regardless of their hierarchical level), the activity makes it possible to become aware of one’s own behaviours and, at the end of the session, to make an eco-responsible commitment according to one’s performance: eco-laissez-faire, eco-indifferent, eco-engaged, eco-altruist, eco-activist. This activity requires a laptop. The game is not yet available on cell phones.
