Abstract:

This study examines how Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) and green software can help make human resource management more environmentally friendly. As sustainability becomes a top focus for businesses, these digital technologies are becoming increasingly important. HRIS enables businesses to go paperless, hire and train people in an environmentally responsible way, work from home, and generally make HR operations more efficient. At the same time, green software uses less energy, keeps systems up and running, encourages employees to be more environmentally friendly, and makes the company look better for its environmental initiatives. The study gathered information from 100 HR and IT professionals working in private-sector firms in India to evaluate the advantages and obstacles to adopting these technologies. The findings reveal considerable benefits; nevertheless, participants also identified problems, including elevated implementation costs, data security issues, and organisational reluctance to technological change. Even with these problems, the results show that using HRIS and green software together greatly improves Green HRM operations. In general, the study finds that using these technologies together helps businesses stay in business for a long time and increase their operations. Companies can strengthen their environmental commitments by using HRIS and green software simultaneously. This will also improve HR services and create a culture of green responsibility.
