Listen Later

To this day, this week, Climate Issues are a big deal! It's affecting people all over the world, not just us in California. The weather, the water. It's a big deal that we all need to be concerned about. Environmental Sustainability is both a social movement and a sustainable business practice. People Leaders have the unique position to influence lifelong behaviors in their roles. Where we have seen a transfer or a change in initiatives is now that The Green Movement is more of a proactive movement, not just let's stop doing the things that pollute, but let's actually do proactive things that encourage sustainable behaviors within every worker in the organization. Let's actively do things that has our company be a leader in the industry towards saving energy and these types of things. Based on Chapter 10 of our book, The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age, we discuss what needs to happen in the area of Organizational Behavior in The Digital Age.

“Business Leaders, People Leaders can now be the solution to not only the organization's issues, but also can solve some of our society's issues. With the little micro changing of behaviors within our small teams that become infectious, that grow up into other teams and other pieces of the organization, to where we have large corporations behaving in an Environmental Sustainable manner as well. From a philosophical and conceptual, theoretical point of view, a strategic point of view, some function within the organization has to be responsible for the environmental sustainability of the green efforts of the organization. So, it seems to us, we lay out this thesis in the book, that since the conduit for effectively managing sustainability is the people of the organization, is the Human Resources of the organization. It seems logical to us that the right custodian for the Green effort is the HR function, the Chief People Officer of the company. They can coordinate and create an environment in the organization that an employee is then geared to behaving in an environmentally sustainable manner while in the work environment in The New World of Work. The HR Department, the Chief Human Resource People Officer should be the one that leads those efforts, but it has to be the entire C-Suite, the CEO, the top managers all have to believe in it.”
