Abstract
We have sub-titled this chapter ‘concluding thoughts’ rather than ‘conclusions’ as we believe that the subject of sustainability and HRM (Sustainable HRM) is still in the early stages of development with much thought and study still necessary before academics and practitioners are likely to come anywhere near consensus which would justify the term ‘conclusions’. Within this volume we have deliberately sought a wide variety of issues and geographical locations within which to consider the issues of sustainability and people at work. By its nature the variety has produced a wide diversity of views. We consider this range of viewpoints a strength as we believe that there are many routes and many outcomes to the ways of ‘managing’ in a sustainable way. We do recognize, however, that the variety might leave the reader with an impression of too much uncertainty so within this chapter we will draw attention to the key debates and analyses.
