Making employees enthusiastic about Orbisk!

Engaged employees bring both financial and practical benefits to the entire organization. When employees feel involved, they are more committed to achieving results. Optimal employee engagement can significantly help reduce your food waste. Below are five tips to boost employee engagement within your team.

1. Create a vision
   

   Explain why the location has chosen to install the food waste monitor. It’s not about control, and no one is being blamed! Recording food waste is a way to identify smart adjustments, where the team’s help is essential.

2. Communicate regularly

   Choose an interactive form of communication, such as scheduling a monthly meeting or brainstorming session. Encourage the team to think about potential solutions and initiatives to reduce food waste.

3. Sign the commitment document

   Before Orbisk installs the monitor, it’s helpful for everyone on the team—including service staff, kitchen staff, and management—to sign the commitment document. Signing this document emphasizes the importance of collaboration. It helps staff understand that this initiative isn’t just a “must-do,” but a shared effort where everyone is equally involved and important. Reducing food waste is something you achieve together, not alone.

4. Celebrate the results

   Show the results and emphasize that teamwork has a tangible impact on reducing food waste. This recognition and appreciation keep employees motivated and committed to the goal.

5. Appoint Food ambassadors

   Enhance engagement and responsibility among employees by appointing "Food Ambassadors." Task these individuals with brainstorming ways the location can further reduce food waste.
