But how does such a large organization embed its sustainability commitment into every department, reaching every employee, while keeping engagement levels high?

For Ross Parsons, Director of Pursuits at JLL Hong Kong, the answer was clear: inspire sustainability action through meaningful employee engagement.

The solution: transforming training with trees

To elevate the impact of a recent broker training session for his Leasing Team, Parsons partnered with OneSeed to create an experience that combined sustainability with active participation.

Through the initiative, participants were invited to give feedback on the training via a simple yet powerful incentive: the planting of a tree in their name.

Here’s how it worked:

  • Post-Training Feedback: Employees received a follow-up email inviting them to share their feedback, with a planted tree as a thank-you gift.
  • Tree Engagement: Each participant was assigned a unique tree they could "visit" online, complete with geolocation details, a photo, and real-time updates on positive impact.
  • Collective Impact: JLL received shareable metrics showing the total trees planted and impact metrics, showcasing the tangible environmental and community benefits of the initiative.
  • A lasting impression

    The offering from OneSeed is practical, meaningful, and innovative. It was incredibly easy to collaborate with the OneSeed team, who tailored the program to help us achieve our goal of increased engagement and valuable feedback.


    The JLL group was deeply impressed by the tree-planting initiative, made even more impactful by the ability to track the progress of thier trees. Whether for internal programs to boost employee engagement or client-facing projects, we see endless possibilities for working with OneSeed again—and we definitely will.

    By blending training with purpose, JLL not only engaged their employees but also took a significant step toward their sustainability goals, proving that small actions can have a big impact.

    Together, JLL and OneSeed are building a better, greener future—one tree at a time.

    為什麼員工敬業度很重要

    1990 年首次引入的員工敬業度概念是一項業務突破。與專注於膚淺津貼和福利的員工滿意度不同,當一個人在工作環境中表達他們的“首選自我”時,就會發生員工敬業度,並且是員工績效的標誌,因此也是組織績效的標誌。

    對組織領導層的信任是首要驅動力,而不是物理環境,建立對領導層的信任的首要步驟是:

    • 定期提供反饋的機會
    • 管理層 訪問 其團隊的反饋
    • 通過行動認真對待反饋

    擁有高度敬業的員工並感到受到重視和支持的組織往往財務狀況更好,擁有更高效的員工隊伍,並具有更高的員工保留率,以及其他好處。它不是休息室里的免費零食;正是有意義的對話創造成果的機會。
