Green HRM: An Innovative Practice for Organisational Sustainability

Abstract

Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) is a contemporary management construct, initially designed and developed because of its potentiality to influence employees’ green behaviours. Thus far, the concept has chiefly attracted conceptualization interest, rather than any extensive empirical attention. However, it has begun to gain traction and increased academic interest within the management field, because of its prospective contribution to improving corporate environmental performance, and its implicit influence over employee workplace behaviours. Green HRM has proved to be a promising management approach to address corporate environmental sustainability. Thus, GHRM (Green Human Resource Management) has been becoming a key business strategy for the significant organizations where HR Departments play a dynamic part in going green at the office. The paper mostly focuses on the various Green Human Resource Practices & few initiatives. Lastly, the paper suggests a few prolific HR initiatives for Green organizations.
