Read the following case study:

Kramar, R 2022, ‘Sustainable human resource management: Six defining characteristics’, Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources, vol. 60, no. 1, pp. 146-170, DOI:10.1111/1744-7941.12321.

According to Kramar (2022), Sustainable HRM is built on the principles of Strategic HRM and focuses on broad organizational goals in a number of areas, and not just “business” goals. Central to this approach, however, is the link between HRM and sustainability. Based on your reading of this article and your understanding of the HRM theories, concepts and principles that you have learned in this subject, your task is to:

Critically evaluate your organization’s approach (or any organization you are familiar with) to strategic HRM by examining its policies, practices and procedures against any three characteristics of sustainable HRM as, identified by Kramar (2022). You can choose to focus on those characteristics that you believe to be the most important and/or relevant for your organization.

These are:

Contradictory outcomes
Concern with capability development
The need to recognize potential and actual negative and positive outcomes
Attention to the development and implementation of HRM activities
The explicit statement of values informing sustainable HRM
The design of metrics to promote sustainability
