Substantiable Employment
The topic ‘sustainable employment’ has become a significant concern in business ethics.
Sustainability originally refers to the long-term maintenance of systems according to
environmental, economic, and social considerations. Connecting the concept of
sustainability to employment implicit that employers must try to categorize work in such a
way that their human resources are encouraged rather than exploited, so that these
resources can be moved in the future. It should also be noted that sustainable
employment is an outcome of a sustainable human resource management approach.
Sustainable employment is also defined as the degree to which employees are able and
willing to remain working now and in the future. Even though sustainable employment is
often referred to as an ageing workforce, it should also be considered that sustainability
relates to employees of all ages.
Relating to stakeholder’s theory, employees are a big part of it and are impacted by
business ethics.
7.1. Classifications.
7.1.1. Green Jobs
Green jobs are industries that make environmentally friendly products or are workplace
and organization of workers is also more environmentally sustainable. The potential
benefits of green jobs are social, economic, and ecological.
In Bangladesh, there are lots of companies or industries that practice green jobs. Few
examples of such companies with the scenario of green jobs practices are:
A Bangladeshi Company-X produces various types of environmental-friendly products.
The general manager of the production unit said that the company has been assembling
environment-friendly products since the year 2000. The company manufactures bricks that
are alternative for pavement blocks for footpath and wall and roof. The manager also said
that the use of these environmental-friendly products is rising in Bangladesh.
Another similar Bangladeshi Company-Y like Company-X produces environmentally friendly
materials like wall tiles, floor tiles, and stair tiles. The executive director of the
company included that they use water treatment plants to manufacture the products, which
creates less pollution in the environment.
These examples of Bangladeshi companies can say that green job practices help to bring
benefits like less harm to the environment, and workers who work under these companies
will be more encouraged to work sustainably.
7.1.2. Wider Employment
Wider employment is another part of sustainable employment. And from a sustainability
perspective, it mainly focuses on works that are being shared out more fairly in
organizations between employees. It can be divided into categories like gender equity,
equal pay, meaningful participation, etc.
For example, the garment industries of Bangladesh can be a big example of wider
employment where they had been outshined in areas like gender equity and the healthcare
of their employees. And from this example, it can be said that women and men of
Bangladesh who are working in the garments sector are receiving equal treatment in terms
of benefits, opportunities, rights, and obligations.
7.1.3. Re-humanized Workplaces
It means how the directors and employees of an organization humanize their workplace
to make it a better work environment together. From a sustainable employment
perspective attempts that can be taken to re-humanize, the workplace is job enlargement,
job enrichment, and empowering the employees.
