An Outside-in Approach to Human Resource Management

Abstract

This article explains the outside-in approach to comprehending human resource management (HRM) in the context of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Based on the literature review, the author states four qualitative propositions to link long-term business challenges with sustainable HRM goals. This article indicates that a much broader scholarly and professional outlook is required to conceptualize and practice sustainable HRM and solve business challenges in the long run. Since sustainable HRM literacy is very low in Nepal, this article attempts to elaborate on and explain the concepts. As this is a conceptual paper, it will be necessary to expand on and test the propositions in the future.
