Abstract

By the beginning of the 21st century, the idea of sustainability and green thinking had reached and even permeated the field of HR. All of this is driven by technological advances led by digitalization, robotics and artificial intelligence as "flagships". Clearly, the changed circumstances are generating changes in the requirements for retaining skilled workers. This paper presents the Green Deal, the intentions and attitudes of managers in the context of sustainability factors, HR policies reinterpreted in the context of sustainability, the conditions for employee satisfaction in the 21st century, and recent research results on these issues in the competitive-, higher education- and health sectors, based on the method of literature analysis.
