Many studies argued that system of environmental management can only be effectively implemented if the companies have the right people with the right skills and competencies. Green human resource (HR) is one which involves two essential elements: environmentally friendly HR practices and the preservation of knowledge capital. Green HR practices involve reducing carbon footprint via less printing of paper, video conferencing and interviews, and etc. Green HR initiatives help companies find alternative ways to cut cost without losing their top talent.
