Green Grid research reports that most companies are not offering incentives to their employees to help increase energy efficiency.
Two-thirds of enterprises that deploy data centres currently have no corporate incentives in place for increasing energy efficiency in those IT systems, industry research made public on 4 Feb by The Green Grid reported.
This equates with the fact that most companies are not currently offering incentives to their employees to help increase energy efficiency, even though doing so could mean substantial bottom-line and environmental results, the report said.
"Incentives do not have to be monetary to be effective; employees often value verbal acknowledgement," the Green Grid's Data Collections and Analysis workgroup wrote in the report. "A company's initiative to boost energy efficiency may meet with greater success if it includes some form of employee incentives."
