Description

This chapter examines how human resources (HR) professionals can facilitate organizational change in the direction of environmental responsibility in the context of sustainable human resource management. HR establishes itself as a strategic catalyst for concrete transformations in employee conduct and organizational culture by implementing performance management integration, waste reduction, and sustainable commuting initiatives. The study emphasizes tangible instances, demonstrating how human resource initiatives surpass theoretical concepts to promote a dedication to environmental stewardship actively. In ecological sustainability, HR professionals serve as catalysts for organizations, imparting knowledge and devising strategies to direct progress.
