Description

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) face a pressing challenge in balancing organizational competitiveness with environmental responsibility. As organizations increasingly adopt Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices to enhance sustainability, HEIs must align their human resource strategies with ecological goals. However, the lack of comprehensive guidance and resources tailored to HEIs hinders their ability to integrate GHRM effectively.

Green HRM Awareness and Training in Higher Education Institutions solves this challenge. This book offers a detailed roadmap for HEIs implementing GHRM practices and fostering pro-environmental behaviors among staff and students. By equipping HR professionals and organizational leaders with strategies to integrate sustainability into HR processes, this book enables HEIs to enhance their environmental performance while maintaining competitiveness.
