Authors(1) :-Sonia

Human Resources plays a crucial role in all forms of production. The technical advancement in recent times had caused businesses around the world to curtail workforce and minimize the cost of production. Despite this paradigm shifts in the cost benefit domain, the human resources continue to play a vital role in developing businesses to take care of organization’s activities and get the work done. Green Human Resource Management has turned out be a novel concept for the majority of the HRM professionals and academicians. It is changing the organizational culture and making employees adopt a green approach, it also utilizes human resource policies to promote sustainable uses of resources within the organization. In recent times companies feel the need to implement Green HRM in their organizations and ripe its benefits. It also needs to be seen, to what extent, the GHRM policies help in contributing to human and technical sustainability. This helps us properly assess two important aspects; environment friendly HR practices and preservation of knowledge capital. There is indeed a bright prospect for GHRM, and it is going to be rewarding for employers, employees, academicians and politicians. A need would also be felt to sort of expand the HRM in the pursuit of environmentally sustainable business.
