Synopsis

This unit examines how sustainable approaches to HRM can address important contemporary challenges including environmental uncertainty, technological change, employee wellbeing and the broader impacts of organisations on society and the environment. Recognising the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and increasing demands from employees and other key stakeholders, organisations are keenly focused on improving the sustainability of their human resource management. This unit explores ways in which sustainability contributes to competitive advantage by using human resource management strategy and practices to meet the needs of the organisation, employees, society and the environment.
