Analysis of Field-Based Research Case Studies on Sustain-Ability and Its Impact on Employee Behaviour Driven by his commitment to advancing sustainability-centered organizational transformation, and undertaken during his pursuit of a master’s degree, Karamray conducted a field-based research case study grounded in the five principles of sustainability—inclusion, connection, prudence, equity, and security—to analyze the University of Waterloo’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy and its impact on the Green Office Ambassador Network (GOAN), exploring how institutional culture, employee well-being, and motivation influence participation in campus sustainability initiatives. By integrating analytical and field-based case study methodologies, the study identified gaps between strategic goals and employee engagement, providing actionable recommendations to strengthen institutional learning and foster a values-driven culture. In a complementary study, he examined the link between organizational behaviour and employee turnover in the service industry through field research with Seneca College students employed across diverse sectors, revealing how workplace behaviour impacts retention, morale, and productivity. The findings highlighted the critical role of evidence-based behavioural strategies in mitigating turnover, enhancing productivity, and cultivating a sustainable, people-centred organizational culture. Collectively, these efforts reflect his dedication to applying evidence-based insights that bridge sustainability principles with organizational effectiveness and long-term workforce resilience.
Our Mindset
The StratAttain Institute was founded with a clear mission: to raise awareness among organizations, whether institutions, corporations, or SMEs, about the most influential yet often overlooked stakeholders in corporate sustainability development and management, namely, their employees. Employees play a critical role in shaping and advancing an organization’s environmental sustainability strategy, yet their involvement is frequently underestimated. To address this gap, the exclusive Flagship MasterClass, “Fundamental Strategies for Corporate Sustainability Development and Management” was developed. This MasterClass emphasizes and substantiates the principle that employees hold an intrinsic and legitimate role within an organization’s framework, one that can be effectively articulated and leveraged as a compelling Business Case for Corporate Sustainability. Building on this principle, the StratAttain Institute is committed to advancing knowledge, fostering meaningful impact, and contributing to a more sustainable world. Its mission is to bridge the critical divide between corporate expectations (enhanced reputation and economic benefits) and employee engagement, enabling organizations to achieve measurable progress in Sustainability Development and Management.
