The experiences of Lassila & Tikanoja's employees towards the company's sustainability were studied in an empathy study in September 2022. Close to five hundred employees responded to the survey. The data was analyzed with Empathy Analytics™, which uses emotions and science to show what engages people or drives them away. A traditional satisfaction survey would not have revealed this.
Significant aspects of engagement in the context of ecological sustainability included participation in the environmental work, strategy, goals, sustainable policies, and circular economy. Company’s efforts to improve the climate and to secure the future were also brought up as strong, positive signals. Only one of the ten top signals, operational transparency, polarized the respondents. The most common emotions evoked by environmental sustainability were interest, pride, and contentment.
"The results show the inclusive and inspiring effect that environmental sustainability has on our employees. This engagement contributes to the realization of our circular economy goals. Empathy analytics' comprehensive picture of which matters engage our employees and which do not, helps us strengthen our strengths and solve our challenges", says Senior Sustainability Manager Senja Forsman-Katainen at Lassila & Tikanoja.
The empathy study analyzed the employee emotions and the root causes for the emotions in connection with ecological, social, and governance sustainability (ESG).
