As a minimum the Team should organize a staff meeting to inform staff about the assessment and their roles and to get their support. Staff from the focus areas should attend this meeting, but preferably everyone from top management to production staff throughout the plant should get an introduction. Production staff are important because they are the ones who work in the focus area every day and understand the production processes best!
It is recommended that the Team and staff working in the focus areas receive training on CP and energy efficiency, how to carry out an assessment, and technical training on energy equipment, depending on whether
- The Team has sufficient knowledge and experience to carry out the energy assessment
- An objective of the energy assessment is to increase staff’s knowledge and experience so that they can continue with energy assessments in the future (as indicated by top management under task 1a) or only to find quick energy efficiency options
- The company’s Team or external consultants carry out the energy assessment
See Worksheet 12 for suggested training. Note that this Guide includes training material for company staff!
Other possible activities include hanging up posters, starting a slogan campaign, explanation at section / department meetings, and announcements through a letter from top management to staff or through a company newsletter. See Company examples of examples from companies that participated in the GERIAP project on how they addressed the staff meeting and training.
