In Practice

5: Implement Action Plan

See this Guideline Step

Individuals create the team


In an energy management program, employee involvement is where the "rubber meets the road." Food Lion empowers its associates to achieve results within its energy program and encourages a sense of personal achievement. 

 

Food Lion targets energy program efforts to specific employment levels, with the use of Performance Scorecards and financial incentives for maintenance personnel, energy awareness training for managers, and internal recognition for maintenance and retail associates.

5.4: Motivate

Food Lion - Rewarding Maintenance Staff

Food Lion's Energy Awareness Plan rewards maintenance staff by awarding quarterly bonuses for improving energy performance. Keeping maintenance staff motivated to save energy has helped Food Lion reduce its utility cost per store per week by 5.5 percent.
