Green. Again and again we see the routinely overused buzzword associated with being more environmentally friendly. Besides its place in our vocabulary, are you using green methods throughout your business? Do you know what benefits you are missing out on if you’re not going green?
It may be a stale buzzword but it does have great payoffs.
Reducing your carbon footprint with an environmentally friendly approach not only helps protect the environment, but in a lot of ways can provide a more sustainable and profitable business means. It can be a win-win situation in many ways. A classic example is keeping an electronic library of documents. Your business uses less paper (landfills see less of it), recycling fees you’re paying become reduced or eliminated, and it becomes both easier and faster to deliver documents to your employees, partners and clients.
There are a lot of great tools out there to help your business both go green and contribute to your success. One such business necessity that you may have overlooked or don’t think about as an item that’s easy to convert to green is your payroll. What’s great about green payroll is that it not only brings prosperity to you but your employees as well.
