Reward | Avoid green quitting with sustainable staff benefits

Green quitting is the new buzzword for HR professionals to get to grips with but its repercussions are significant and potentially damaging to an organisation’s workforce and reputation. Fortunately, and once again, the humble bicycle comes to the rescue.

As buzz words go, climate quitting or green quitting, are relatively new ones to the HR world. But whilst the tag is designed to grab attention, the sentiment behind it is something to be taken seriously.

Ethical values are influencing the employment decisions of almost half of UK office workers. Recent research by KPMG and AMBA has found that an employer’s commitment to ESG values impacts how their employees view the company with some acting with their feet if it fails to align with their own views.

HR leaders should pay close attention to the ESG commitments of their organisation when recruiting and retaining talent. Prospective employees are likely to research environmental credentials and the steps an organisation is taking when considering a job offer. Many will reject an offer if the values don’t align with their own.
