I read an insightful article at Harvard Business Review (HBR) written by Mr. Josh Bersin with title "Sustainability Is About Your Workforce, Too" that highlights the growing importance of "people sustainability" in today's corporate landscape. For me personally, as an HR Specialist at one of global financing company, I'm inspired by how this concept can shape our journey towards a more sustainable future. Here's some key takeaways from the article:
1. The EU's Commitment: The European Union is leading the charge in prioritizing worker well-being and sustainability. Their directives emphasize transparency, work-life balance, and corporate sustainability reporting.
2. Beyond HR Programs: "HR programs" are no longer confined to HR departments. They've evolved into global citizenship mandates, urging companies to integrate and report on sustainability initiatives.
3. Leading by Example: Companies like Heineken, SAP, and Liberty Mutual are pioneers in people sustainability. They've established holistic approaches to human capital practices, including diversity, well-being, safety, and fair pay. Discover how these initiatives have become essential long-term strategies.
4. Your Path to Sustainability: To integrate people sustainability, start aligning with regulatory requirements and work closely with your HR, DEI, and ESG teams. Collaborate with experts in corporate finance and legal to design a robust program. These efforts should be reflected in your annual reports, making them a core part of your company's strategy.
5. The ROI of Well-being: Data from PwC reveals that CEOs recognize the value of people sustainability. Investing in well-being initiatives not only retains talent but also enhances overall company performance.
