Integrating Managers into Environmental Management Systems
Abstract:
This article discusses strategies at how to be successful in implementing and administering an environmental managements system. I find these approaches very much related to the environmental manager job crafting. These are skills that the environmental could find very useful in implementing an environmental management system, but also these skills could be used to solve all kind of environmental issues and other problems.
The article focuses of some of the elements for resistance to the implementation of the systems and their approach to solve these issues is to work with management to see the benefits and the results from a system that receives the support from top management.
This approach is fundamental on any project and it should be part on any environmental manager job crafting process because as the article elaborate unless the direction is coming from the top, ‘permission’ is not acknowledged at the lower level. This goes from management to the plant workers.
