Abstract
The role of Green HR practices and innovative HR practices in SMEs extends beyond mere environmental consciousness. Within SMEs, where resource optimization is paramount, Green HR practices and innovative HR practices emerge as a proactive means to enhance both ecological stewardship and organizational performance. These practices encompass initiatives such as eco-friendly recruitment processes, energy-efficient workplace design, and employee engagement programs focused on environmental responsibility. By integrating Green HR practices, SMEs not only reduce their carbon footprint but also cultivate a culture of sustainability, boosting employee morale, attracting eco-conscious customers, and contributing to the broader global goal of ecological well-being. The chapter explains the difference between “green jobs” and “green employability.” It takes the reader to a journey where the initial research to the utilization of industry 4.0 is studied to understand the innovative HR practices under the lens of different HR theories and models.
