DEVELOPING GREEN HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Abstract
The digital transformation trend continuously poses significant challenges for enterprises and organizations in adapting to new technological platforms. In addition, social responsibility commitments also require organizations and businesses to ensure sustainable development. Thus, the development of green human resources has become a decisive factor for the success of an organization. Green human resources are not only workers with professional knowledge and skills about the environment but also pioneering employees with a high awareness of the impact of business activities on the environment and society. However, the development of green human resources in businesses will face many challenges from finding skilled, knowledgeable human resources to training and maintaining a green culture in the organization. To overcome these challenges, enterprises need long-term investment and commitment in time, effort, and finance. This article analyzes the role and development trends of green human resources in the context of digital transformation. It offers recommendations to support businesses in overcoming challenges in building green human resources
