The global push for environmental sustainability has led to a significant increase in green infrastructure investments, with governments and organizations allocating billions of dollars to support eco-friendly projects and initiatives, such as renewable energy, green buildings, and sustainable transportation systems. According to a study by Gyensare and Adomako, green HRM practices, employee well-being, and sustainable work behavior are intricately linked, with green infrastructure investments having a positive impact on employee wellbeing (Gyensare & Adomako, 2020). Research has shown that employees who work in nature-based settings or have access to green spaces tend to experience reduced stress levels, improved mental health, and increased productivity (Spence et al., 2014). As organizations recognize the need to prioritize both the health of the planet and the health of their employees, they are adopting green HRM practices that promote sustainability and employee wellbeing, such as providing green spaces, promoting sustainable commuting, and offering wellness programs (Sarkar et al., 2020).

A study by Spence et al. found that spending time in nature-based settings can have positive impacts on health and wellbeing, especially for those experiencing stress or those with mental health issues (Spence et al., 2014). These green spaces can also serve as a mechanism for reducing stress, improving mental health, and increasing productivity. For instance, a study by Sarkar et al. found that employees who work in green spaces tend to experience reduced stress levels and improved mental health compared to those who do not have access to green spaces (Sarkar et al., 2020).

Systemic Implications: The Impact on Employee Wellbeing

The implementation of green infrastructure investments can have a positive impact on employee wellbeing, but it also requires careful consideration of the systemic implications.
