Abstract

This article examines the incorporation of sustainability into Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, emphasising the role of HR as a catalyst for sustainable growth within organisations. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, relying on comprehensive interviews with HR specialists from various businesses. These interviews explore the methods, problems, and triumphs related to integrating sustainability into HR services, including recruitment, training, performance management, and employee engagement. The qualitative insights indicate essential strategies, such as the implementation of eco-friendly recruitment procedures, the execution of sustainability-oriented training, and the incorporation of environmental and social objectives into performance evaluations. This study elucidates recommended methods for cultivating a culture of sustainability in organizations, as well as the perceived effects of staff dedication, organisational morale, and company image. The results underscore the crucial role of HRM in advancing sustainability, illustrating how qualitative insights may guide practical measures for developing a workforce fit with long-term social and environmental objectives.
