Collective Action. Powerful Impact
In today's fast-paced work environment, companies are continuously seeking innovative ways to enhance employee morale and productivity. One such revolutionary approach is engaging with rewilding. Restoring natural habitats and encouraging biodiversity through rewilding not only benefits the environment but also creates a more vibrant and engaging work atmosphere.
Here’s how rewilding can transform your workplace for the better:
Enhanced Morale and Job Satisfaction. Rewilding initiatives, such as creating green spaces and transforming personal space can significantly boost employee morale. And these natural elements can create a more pleasant and inspiring workspace, leading to increased job satisfaction.
Increased Productivity. Natural surroundings have been shown to enhance focus and creativity. Research from the University of Exeter revealed that employees working in environments brimming with nature are 15% more productive than those in conventional office settings.
Improved Physical Health. Access to green spaces and nature not only benefits mental health but also encourages physical activity. Walking meetings, outdoor lunch breaks, and on-site gardens can motivate employees to move more, reducing the risks associated with sedentary lifestyles.
Enhanced Reputation. Companies that invest in rewilding demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and employee welfare. This can enhance their reputation, attracting top talent and customers who value environmental responsibility.
Any space can become a mini rewilding park!
Practical Steps to Implement Rewilding
Create Green Spaces. Dedicate areas within the office or surrounding grounds to green spaces. This could include gardens, green roofs, verges, paved areas, balconies or plant walls. We call them “mini” safari parks as they will become a haven to wildlife like bees, butterflies, insects and diverse plants. These spaces provide employees with a focus and eventually a place to relax and recharge.
Educate and Involve Employees. Educate employees about the benefits of rewilding and involve them in planning and maintaining green spaces. This can increase their sense of ownership and engagement with the initiative.
Encourage Outdoor Activities. Promote outdoor activities such as walking meetings, yoga sessions in the park and team-building exercises in these natural settings. These activities can reduce stress and foster a sense of community.
GreenTeam from LettsSafari
GreenTeam is a subscription package for companies to engage with rewilding. Every GreenTeam subscription supports LettsSafari in building more rewilding parks like Dawlish Park.
For every 10 employees subscribed, we plant a tree each year the subscription is valid.
For every 100 employees, we release an endangered animal back into the wild each year.
For every 10,000 employees, we open a new rewilding safari park each year.
Our 15+ years experience of smaller-scale rewilding is then shared back via an innovative digital platform so businesses can empower their employees to rewild the workplace and create their own mini rewilding parks. This can also be applied to employees' own private gardens or even local public spaces such as unloved parks, scrubland or playgrounds.
By embracing rewilding, companies can create a healthier, happier, and more productive workplace. Not only does this benefit employees, but it also contributes to broader environmental sustainability goals. Build rewilding parks with us and together we can rewild to tackle climate change.
