2. b. Ongoing training and awareness programs to enhance employee participation

Previous literature indicates that there is a knowledge gap in the issue of employee training and their ability to implement changes in organizations from the bottom up perspective. Moreover, effective environmental education and awareness training is essential for the sustainability culture in the organization (Kupczyk, Gross-Golacka and Kubicka, 2023)

Kupczyk, Gross-Golacka and Kubicka (2023) conducted a comparative study to analyze the employees perspective about training in sustainability. Main conclusions suggested a significant relationship between the number of sustainability trainings received and the sustainability rating of operations. The greater the number of trainings employees take part, the higher they rate the sustainability level. Therefore, it is crucial to implement training and awareness programs in order to increase employee participation in sustainability practices.

There are several options worldwide for training course in sustainability namely offered by Sustainability Academy, Cambridge Judge Business School, Imperial College Business School, edapp, KPMG, and World Bank Group.
