Tech-Enabled Sustainable HR Strategies: Fostering Green Practices

As businesses increasingly recognize the importance of sustainability, the concept of Green HR practices has emerged. Green HR practices aim to integrate environmental concerns into HR policies and procedures, including areas such as recruitment, training, and employee engagement. Technology plays a crucial role in enabling and facilitating these practices, such as using digital tools for recruitment and employee communication, implementing telecommuting and remote work, and reducing paper usage through electronic documentation. Additionally, technology can assist in monitoring and reporting the effectiveness of green HR practices and provide data for future improvements. The combination of Green HR practices and technology can lead to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible organization, benefiting both the company and the planet. Green HRM (Human Resource Management) is closely linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a call for action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Green HRM practices can help organizations achieve the SDGs by promoting sustainable workplace practices and reducing their operations' environmental impact.
