Dear HR Division colleagues,
A New Course on Sustainable HRM and Research
It is more than three decades, since the development of strategic HRM, no major business strategy level disruption has triggered radical changes in the field of human resource management (HRM). Businesses around the world have currently embraced corporate sustainability and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies for common good.
World bodies such as Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) for sustainability and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for sustainability have highlighted the importance of HR capital in implementing ESG business strategies for the shared value of businesses and stakeholders.
Hence, the emerging discipline of sustainable HRM has facilitated keen interest among HRM, sustainability and management scholars to explore research and teaching opportunities to gain better insights into developing the required HR capital for sustainability to implement ESG business strategy for shared value.
Opportunities to introduce a new course on sustainable HRM
Higher education institutions have an important role in promoting sustainability for the society's benefit by introducing a new course on sustainable HRM in management and HRM programs at all academic levels. Many universities and colleges around the world have started introducing the course on sustainable HRM to the development of graduates who would understand how to implement corporate sustainability business strategy with sustainable HRM knowledge.

There are abundant research opportunities for established researchers and early career researchers in areas of sustainable HRM, such as employee well-being, occupational health, SDGs, Green HRM, and CSR.
