According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention introduces a novel Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) framework specifically designed to function as a powerful catalyst for enhancing employee engagement and minimizing turnover among the Generation Z (Gen-Z) workforce. Recognizing Gen-Z's profound prioritization of corporate social and environmental responsibility, the invention systematically embeds sustainability principles across all core Human Resource functions, including green recruitment, specialized eco-training, and performance systems that formally recognize environmental contributions via Green KPIs. This comprehensive approach is designed to foster a deep sense of Person-Organization (P-O) fit and cultivate an authentic Green Psychological Climate. By aligning organizational practices with the Gen-Z value system, the GHRM framework elevates employee vigor, dedication, and absorption in their work, resulting in measurable improvements in engagement levels and a significant, strategic reduction in voluntary employee turnover. This method transforms GHRM from a mere compliance activity into a crucial strategy for securing and retaining modern talent."
