Integrating Green HRM Practices for Sustainable Organizational Effectiveness: An Empirical Study of the Banking Sector

Ms. Anshu Ashok Upadhyay & Heena Jalal

The contemporary business landscape has witnessed a notable increase in the recognition and importance of environmental and social concerns related to green issues. Corporate Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) prioritises the development of sophisticated technical and managerial competencies within the workforce. Organisations that seek to foster the development of innovative environmental projects and activities, which have substantial managerial implications, employ this strategic approach. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the significance of incorporating environmentally sustainable practices within the human resource function. This will be achieved by implementing eco-friendly solutions and proposing a novel model for green human resource management. The banking business is currently witnessing consistent growth on a global level, hence prompting the need to investigate ecologically sustainable practices within the banking sector. This study’s primary objective was to investigate the variety of green human resource management practices implemented in the banking sector. In addition, the study provided recommendations to the department of human resources regarding strategies to promote environmental sustainability in the banking sector and leverage the benefits of these principles. The present study is based on both primary as well as secondary data. Primary data is collected by structured questionnaire and secondary is collected from research journals, websites, and publications are used to understand the topic and verify its accuracy. The results were analysed using percentage method. The implementation of green human resource initiatives has resulted in a variety of positive outcomes, including increased operational efficiencies, cost reductions, increased employee retention rates, enhanced productivity, and other tangible benefits. The application of environmentally cognizant human resource policies and practices involves the incorporation of principles that promote balance between environmental, social, and economic factors.
