Abstract

ABSTRACT

The company's commitment to environmental sustainability in accordance with government regulations faces challenges at PT XYZ. However, despite its efforts in policies, training, and work-life balance for environmental sustainability, it remains a challenge to retain employees and convince them that the company is committed to long-term sustainability. In June 2023, PT XYZ experienced a turnover rate of up to 11% compared to the previous period. This research aims to investigate the factors that can build employee retention regarding the implementation of green company policy, green training & development, and green work-life balance at PT XYZ. The study was used a quantitative approach with 130 active workers at PT XYZ. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.26 and SmartPLS 4.0 tools with the PLS-SEM analysis method. This method is chosen because it can handle a larger range of problems due to its efficiency while working with a considerably wider range of sample sizes, increased model complexity, and fewer strict data assumptions in accordance with this research needs. The study found that when PT XYZ adopts company policy, provides green-focused training, and supports a work-life balance that prioritizes environmental sustainability, it significantly improves employee retention. This highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to sustainability in the workplace, showing that a company's commitment to being environmentally friendly positively influences employees' decision to stay with the organization. Therefore, PT XYZ's human resources initiatives towards sustainability need to advance further with various strategies such as effectively communicating and reinforcing environmental values throughout the organization, integrating sustainability into existing training programs, promoting eco-friendly workplace practices, and creating a culture that values work-life balance sustainability.
