What is GHRM?
Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) is a new concept and

impacts for their long term sustainability in addition to focusing on financial
profits.

process with a minimal environmental impact. It is sharing the company's solid
commitment towards the cause of environment with the candidates whom they are
trying to hire (Elizabeth, 2020).”

Organizations should appropriately appraise workers’ green behavior and align
their behavior to pay and promotion. Organizations should also encourage and
motivate employees to be engaged in green activities and contribute to
environmental management (Zahid Hameed, 2020). Green HRM is not only

the society.
