Research Area: Green HRM, Sustainability & RMG Sector Management

Abstract

Bangladesh Ready-Made Garments (RMG) have become crucial in recent decades, yet privately made products are still a problem. 90% of RMG's 4.2 million representatives are women. However, Bangladesh RMG has enormous growth potential. For using these opportunities, it should focus on authentic HR ways to boost quality performance. Their kin are undervalued, underprepared, and underutilised. Due to ill-advised HR practises, RMG has a high work upheaval rate and worse profitability than its peers. As RMG is a growing aspect of the industry, more attention is being paid to apparel companies' growth. Green corporate strategies are boosting global sustainability. Green-oriented corporate strategy can gain a competitive advantage over potential competitors and help them achieve sustainable development. Modern buyers are drawn to green RMG enterprises to fulfil their obligation to Mother Nature. Since RMG is Bangladesh's most important economic sector, environmental care is critical. This study aims to provide an overview of green human resource management strategies in Bangladesh's RMG industries, which boosts their competitiveness. The main data source was a questionnaire. The respondents' perceptions of the variables are analysed descriptively. Ten people from each of 20 garment companies were polled. According to the survey, HR professionals should make environmental management part of their daily practise to have a regular schedule. Going green hrm boosts a company's Image and bottom line.
