Accelerating HR’s Role in Sustainability: The Next Big Step

While sustainability may start out as grand goals, it lives and dies by the millions of little actions made by everyday employees. HR departments could be your best ally for successfully mainstreaming sustainability into all aspects of your corporate culture. HR influences talent management, culture change, learning and development, shaping values, and rewards and recognition. Beyond that, HR can help create a purpose driven, conscious, connected workforce. HR could help steward a shift toward total employee involvement in sustainability but is all too often left out of the equation altogether, or at best, invited too late to the game.
