Is Sustainability Separate from HR?
We used to hear this a lot, and for a while, we wondered if it was true.
But a few years ago, we were involved in a project aimed at reducing our organisation’s carbon footprint, and I saw firsthand how HR played a pivotal role.
It wasn’t just about cutting emissions; it was about creating a workplace where employees felt part of a larger mission. HR helped align the entire team around this goal, driving engagement, improving well-being, and building a sense of purpose.
Employees became more connected, motivated, and proud of the company’s direction.
How Sustainable Human Resources Management Drives Change
By integrating sustainability into human resources strategies, companies can:
- Create a more purpose-driven workforce.
- Enhance employee well-being and retention.
- Strengthen employer branding in an era where employees care deeply about their company’s impact on the planet.
The Bottom Line
The reality is: sustainability and human resources are two sides of the same coin, each supporting the other.
