The research adopts a qualitative approach and interviews twelve People Strategy Professionals and Sustainability Professionals. These professionals are from publicly listed electronic companies that are actively promoting ESG practices. The study reveals the following key findings in relation to sustainability.
The research literature on sustainable HRM primarily focuses on academics and lacks input from practitioners, which can result in a lack of practicality and specific guidance in implementation. Promoting sustainable HRM requires cross-departmental collaboration, integrating sustainability into core values and strategies. People Strategy Professionals need to develop new skills like change management, data analytics, and strategic decision-making to support sustainable development.
HR departments face challenges in positioning themselves, communicating their value, and collaborating with other departments. Creating a culture that supports sustainability is crucial, with leaders playing a key role. Companies should provide training to enhance employees′ awareness and knowledge of sustainability. | en_US |
