Abstract:
Green HRM is the latest buzzword in organizations today. With a lot of emphasis and focus of the top management on sustainability, Green practices are being adopted and corporations today are developing human resource policies for promoting environment management initiatives. Earlier the success of a firm was strongly dependent on promotion of economic value. However today, organizations have to consider the reduction of ecological footprints and give importance to social and environmental factors along with economical and financial factors in order to enable the organization to be successful in the corporate sector thereby enabling attainment of profit by the shareholders.
This paper is an attempt to study some of these practices in a few selected Indian organizations today. The paper also highlights the impact Green HR has created and the advantage these companies have over their counterparts due to these practices. This study comes at an opportune time as there is a great deal of increase in the level of environmental pollution and waste emerging from industries which has resulted in increase in implementation of policies by governmental and private sector with the aim of reducing the rapid destruction to the non-renewable resources and the ultimate negative impact it would have on societal consequences.
