Participants at this workshop will work with a team of experts and assistants who will help participants maximize their performance in the Green Workplace Challenge. The Green Workplace Challenge support team will provide one-on-one assistance to help structure Portfolio Manager Accounts, enter utility data, set the right baseline, and submit completed actions so that participants can quickly be credited with competition points. The workshop will also feature some time-saving recommendations so that competitors can get as many points as possible amidst tight time budgets.

This workshop will be especially helpful for:

- Small and medium sized businesses who do not have full time staff dedicated to sustainability programs but want to cash in on the benefits of energy saving and sustainability initiatives. Many small businesses can rocket themselves ahead in the competition in just a few hours of participating in this workshop.

- Large businesses that do have dedicated sustainability staff but need to navigate complex portfolios so that they can claim credit for their achievements as efficiently as possible.

- All participants who want to be able to ask questions about the Green Workplace Challenge Manual in order to maximize point potential.

This event is the 5th of 12 workshops in a year-long series of Green Workplace Challenge participant workshops.

Taking actions associated with the topics addressed in this workshop can earn your organization a number of competition points in the Green Workplace Challenge associated with resource reductions. Check out the official GWC competition manual to see the full list of actions for which we are awarding points.
