The Role of Sustainable HR Practices in Enhancing Employee Well-being: Evidence from Corporate Organizations in Pune, India

Abstract

The well-being of workers has acquired some relevancy given that the organizations are oriented towards aligning their business plans with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Sustainable Human Resource Management (SHRM) is focused on the HR practices which ensure maximization of the company performance besides being focused on enhancing the long run welfare of employees, social equity and environmental responsibility. The implications of sustainable HR practices in the welfare of corporate employees in Pune, India will be discussed in the paper. A structured survey was used to carry out the survey on 400 employees in the IT, manufacturing and service sectors. The research conducted on sustainable work practices with few participants meant that, multiple regression analysis can be applied to make meaningful predictions of high employee well being as a result of work participation through employee participation, training and development and work-life balance programs. It indirectly positively affected the activities of environmental sustainability. The results can be added to the theoretical data on SHRM and practical means of approaching people in a sustainable way and prove that the theory of sustainability in HR integration may impact the welfare of the employees tremendously.
