I. Introduction:
Across the globe, we are moving from an industrial-based financial system to a talent based economy. We are also entering a green economy one in which consumer and employee expectations and future environmental change will require businesses to address “green” issues.
Environmentally conscious organizations will become increasingly prominent as we re-enter into a period of growth. While CO2 growth may have stabilized during the recession, it is destined to increase again as businesses increase production and other business activities. In addition, during the recession, the main environmental focus of many businesses was placed on reducing wasteand optimizing resources.
A renewed focus on growth provides unique opportunities for businesses to become green by looking at ways to create new environmental DNA while producing operational savings by reducing their carbon footprint. II. What is Green HR? The term ‘green HR’ is most often used to refer to the contribution of people management policies and practices towards the broader corporate environmental agenda.
Typical green activities include video recruiting, or the use of online and video interviews, to minimize travel requirements.
Green rewards can include the use of workplace and lifestyle benefits, ranging from carbon credit offsets to free
