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.

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.

HEIs can gain a competitive edge through this book by embracing sustainable practices that align with global environmental goals. It is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand and implement GHRM in HEIs. Ultimately, Green HRM Awareness and Training in Higher Education Institutions offers a transformative approach to HRM, ensuring that HEIs can nurture talent while preserving the planet for future generations.
