Abstract

This paper examines the alignment of Human Resource management with a company's overall mission through their practices of talent recruitment, rewards, training, and quality of working life. This paper will explore and compare companies with a sustainability-focused mission statement against companies that are not sustainability-focused to identify best practices among various industries in regards to how they attract, develop, reward and retain their work force. The prediction is that companies with a sustainability-focused mission statement will take as much care in their employees as they do their responsibility to the environment, more so than the organizations that are strictly for-profit and do not have a sustainability-focused mission statement.
