Critically evaluate the importance and effectiveness of sustainability and IDE strategies of an organisations’ people strategy.

ASML Case Study

Stimulus material:
The emergence of Sustainable HRM was in response to crises in the ecology (i.e. the natural environment), the increasing negative impacts on workers, the increasing inequities in wealth distribution and declining growth and productivity. At the same time, staff turnover was increasing, loyalty declining and stress levels were increasing. (Kramer, 20221)

Inclusion, Diversity & Equity (IDE) is a key pillar within any ESG framework. Your stakeholders – from shareholders to employees – are looking at your record on inclusion, diversity and social mobility when making decisions. And they’re looking beyond what’s needed to comply with legislative changes – for example, gender pay gap and ethnicity pay gap reporting. They want to work with businesses that demonstrate greater authenticity. A commitment to IDE across the employee lifecycle, is important for the communities you operate in – and for your own organisation. Studies have shown that companies with culturally diverse teams are more profitable. Creating an inclusive environment leads to greater innovation and diverse teams get broader consumer understanding. (KMPG, 20222 )
