ABSTRACT
This research investigates the impact of sustainable Human Resource (HR) practices on employee engagement within contemporary organizations. As the consequences of climate change and environmental degradation become more evident, businesses worldwide are integrating sustainability into their core strategies to ensure long-term resilience. This study
explores how embedding sustainability into HR functions can enhance employee motivation, job satisfaction, and overall organizational performance. The research highlights sustainable HR practices such as green recruitment, eco-friendly workplace initiatives, employee environmental training, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. These initiatives foster a culture of shared values and collective purpose, strengthening employees' commitment to the organization’s mission. Furthermore, when
employees perceive their organization as environmentally responsible, their sense of belonging, pride, and engagement is substantially elevated.
While recognizing the opportunities of sustainable HR strategies, the study also addresses challenges such as resource constraints and resistance to change. By identifying both benefits and barriers, this research offers practical insights for businesses aiming to cultivate a more engaged and environmentally-conscious workforce, thereby reinforcing the critical role of HR in promoting sustainable development.

Keywords: Sustainable HR practices, employee engagement, green recruitment, eco-friendly workplace, corporate social responsibility, organizational performance, environmental sustainability.
