Rethinking Sustainability: The Role Of HR, L&D, And People Teams | L&D Disrupt #75

Sustainability isn’t driven through volunteering days, one-size approaches, and top-down mandates!But by bringing social impact into people’s day-to-day roles, giving people the right skills, and empowering them from the bottom-up.
