Businesses can help their employees learn how to save money and energy at home – and help tackle the climate emergency – with Home Energy Scotland’s free online training.

What’s in it for your employees?

Your employees can take a virtual tour of a typical home to identify energy-saving hotspots. They'll then discover how much money and energy they could save by making simple changes. They’ll get energy-saving tips and details of funding and support to help them make energy-saving home improvements.

Your employees will:

• learn how to save money on their energy bills
• find ways to stay warmer and more comfortable at home
• find out about funding and support available from the Scottish Government
• be part of a greener and healthier Scotland, by saving natural resources and reducing pollution
• be able to use the e-learning resource at a time and place that suits

What’s in it for your organisation?

By offering your employees access to the e-learning, you'll:

• give your staff an innovative employee engagement benefit at no cost to your business
• create a happier workforce and increase productivity
• achieve corporate social responsibility and sustainability goals
• help your business achieve accreditations
• be able to apply for awards like the VIBES Scottish Environment Business Awards

Energy-saving knowledge can transfer to the workplace, too – ultimately saving your business money.

All businesses in Scotland are eligible to register their employees for the e-learning service.

The e-learning tool is fully funded by the Scottish Government and is free for businesses and employees in Scotland. There may be costs associated with some of the energy-saving measures employees choose to implement.
