What is green HR?

Green HR is a branch of human resources that focuses on promoting and achieving long-term goals within an organization. It uses HRM policies to create employee awareness to build a comprehensive system for preserving natural resources. Green HRM practices are critical in a forward-thinking business that seeks alternative ways to save money without sacrificing talent or essential resources. It ranges from the promotion of energy conservation to the use of ethical practices. Its initiatives link various HR processes such as staffing, performance management, training, and development to long-term business success (Atreya, 2020).


Why is GHRM important?

Due to the threats and uncertainties that climate change has caused our world, sustainability plans are steadily growing within thousands of businesses today. The support of senior management is critical in an organization's implementation of sustainability management (Deka, 2021).

 


Few way of GHRM.

Change the temperature.

Setting your office thermostat three to five degrees higher than it is now and using fans to improve air flow and comfort can save you about three percent on cooling costs.

Use different type of light bulbs.

Replace incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star-certified LCD lighting, which lasts about 10 times longer and costs about 75% less to run.

Insist on a greener office fridge.

Direct Energy suggests cleaning the coils of one break room fridge twice a year, so if a dollar easily slips out when users close it between door seals, consider installing new gaskets to increase energy efficiency.

Increased Employee Retention.

When their company shows concern for the environment and society, some employees may take pride. Apart from the benefits, it sends a positive message that the company cares about its employees and helps them connect better with organizational values.

 

 

Suzlon Energy.

Suzlon Company has constructed India's most energy-efficient building, complete with a green roof and an energy-efficient and renewable energy-based hot water system. Companies also practice a variety of other policies such as carpooling, zero waste management, and green management.

 

Conclusion.

Green HR practices like electronic filing, job sharing, virtual interviews, and online recruitment can boost efficiency. Employee awareness increased by holding regular meetings to discuss the development of strategic green HR capability. To enhance employee commitment and organizational performance, it must align with the strategy of the organization.

    This is very relevant and important topic. The concept of green HRM is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This concept is being adopted by many of organizations in SL today. To protect trees and the environment, a "paperless office" has been implemented.
