How Are Companies Embracing Green HR? Share Your Eco-Friendly Initiatives Here

Dear Friends,

I am Shivani, working in the HR department of a manufacturing organization. As we all know, times are changing, and we are in a "Green Era." So, following that, I have initiated a couple of "GREEN HR INITIATIVES" in my company. One of them is tree plantation by employees on their birthdays. I am curious to know what kind of "Green HR practices" are followed in other companies. Kindly share the same. Any suggestions, advice, or creative ideas are welcomed.

Regards,
Shivani Gupta

Dear Shivani,

First of all, appreciation for your initiative. I would like to inform you that very rare organizations are following this green HR initiative. Good luck to you. If you have a manufacturing organization, then you would only be able to take this type of plantation initiatives.

I would like to contact you.

Dear Shivani,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your work in implementing Green HR practices in your organization. As far as I know, by reducing waste, we are also making progress towards Green HR. Along the same lines, we can take steps to minimize paper, electricity, water, and time wastage. Therefore, consider educating your employees on these practices.

I hope this information proves to be beneficial for you.

Dear Shivani,

I would like to appreciate your initiative in implementing new things in your organization. I would also like to contribute to your Green HR Initiatives by suggesting something new. Tree plantation is a very good idea, but I also have another suggestion that your organization's people will enjoy.

Most of the time in organizations, we are used to conducting fun activities. You can organize a theme show on social messages like saving trees to help the environment. This way, all your office mates can participate and have fun. Alternatively, you can celebrate the day as SAVE TREE DAY, where everyone will have to wear green and come with a message. I hope you like my suggestion.

Hello seniors,

I am Ruban Kumar pursuing MSW (HR) at Mar Gregorios College. My suggestion is to reduce the use of plastics in your organization by employees and instead provide small plants as incentives. By giving small plants, we can show appreciation to the employees and also contribute to planting trees outside the organization. The organization should also work on reducing chemical wastage, which could be beneficial in combating air pollution. These are some of my suggestions. If there are any mistakes, I sincerely apologize, seniors.

Thanks and regards,
Ruban Kumar

Dear Shivani,

Congratulations on starting the Green HR Practices in your organization.

You can further encourage all staff members to avoid unnecessary printouts to reduce paper consumption. Printouts should only be necessary for maintaining statutory obligations required by government authorities.

For internal correspondence, utilize emails and file transferring portals exclusively. To enhance security, consider linking our official email IDs with Gmail accounts. This way, emails received in the official email will automatically transfer to Gmail, ensuring preservation even if deleted from the official account.

For salary processing, prepare paysheets in soft copy and send them to employees' email IDs. Salaries should be credited directly to their bank accounts, creating a foolproof record.

Thank you for raising awareness about Global Warming, dear.

Kind regards

Your efforts are praiseworthy - I salute you. Here's a suggestion: Try to convince employees and encourage them not to use vehicles for a day at least once a fortnight. This initiative will not only save fuel but also contribute towards reducing pollution and saving money.

Thanks,
