will say that Green HR involves reducing your carbon footprint via
less printing of paper, video conferencing and interviews, etc. The
most important definition to remember in terms of our current

the future implications of losing that knowledge capital. Green HR
initiatives help companies find alternative ways to cut cost without
losing their top talent; furloughs, part time work, etc.
