Abstract: |
In the face of growing environmental challenges and increasing global emphasis on sustainability, organizations are recognizing the need to integrate eco-friendly practices into their core operations. Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in driving this transformation by aligning human capital strategies with environmental goals. This paper explores the pivotal role of HR in promoting sustainable environmental practices within organizations through the lens of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM). It highlights how HR functions such as recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and reward systems can be strategically designed to foster a culture of environmental responsibility. By embedding sustainability into the organizational ethos, HR professionals not only support regulatory compliance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) but also enhance employee engagement and organizational reputation. The study underscores that the proactive involvement of HR in environmental sustainability is no longer optional but essential for long-term organizational success in an increasingly eco-conscious world. |
