WHY ORGANISATIONS SHOULD JOIN
Days of Change is a tool that can help organisations become more
sustainable. There are many benefits to organisations that join,
including:
Support of Existing
Sustainability Programs
The program is designed to complement any existing in-house
sustainability efforts that an organisation may already have in
place. And for organisations without comprehensive sustainability
programs already in place, Days of Change provides an easy, free
way of doing this.
Many of the actions that an
organisation will take, or that staff will take by changing their
work habits, will result in significant savings to the
organisation, whether it be through reduced energy bills, reduced
water costs, or even reduced waste treatment costs.

Engaging Staff
Days of Change provides a mechanism to engage with staff in an
easy way using a staff pledge card. Staff pledges can be selected
to support overall sustainability goals that they organisation
might have.
By providing a means to embrace the willingness of staff to help
reduce the organisation's footprint, daysofchange.org can help
create a more motivated, loyal workforce. With many indicators
pointing towards a new resources boom, this is particularly
important in a competitive human resources market.

Engaging Members
Days of Change can also be used by organisations to engage with
members and customers. The definition of a member is flexible to be
able to meet the needs of different types of organisations.
For example, for local government organisations, their members
will be their ratepayers. For tertiary education institutions,
their members will be their students, whilst for not-for-profit
organisations their members will be their signed-up members.
Organisations can choose pledges that they would like their
members to undertake.
So a local government organisation could choose pledges for its
ratepayers that drive the ratepayers towards its community
sustainability programs such as training, workshops or information
sessions.
