This video discusses how growing sustainability efforts are changing the job market. Charise Le, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at Schneider Electric, highlights the increasing demand for climate-related jobs and the shift in worker preferences towards sustainability. She also explores how companies can bridge the skills gap by investing in employee training and contributing to broader societal solutions.
Welcome to the HBR Video Quick Take. I’m Todd Pruzan, senior editor for research and special projects at Harvard Business Review. As the world sets its ambitious sustainability targets, companies are focusing on redefining and sometimes reinventing their business operations. Accelerating these efforts is also shaping the landscape of work.
For your own people, I think the first thing to do is make your own sustainability commitment. Raise awareness among your people about the value of green skills. Thus, you create the sense of urgency and the desire to learn. The second thing companies need to do is invest in upskilling, and do it at speed and at scale—for example, buying courses versus creating them in-house, for the most up-to-date knowledge and partnerships with educational institutions as well.
Schneider Go Green is an example. It is an annual global competition for university students to share their ideas for a cleaner, more inclusive, and more sustainable world. It was first launched in 2011, and last year we had more than 19,000 students from over 70 countries registered.
