The ImpactWork Foundation

Mission

The mission of the ImpactWork Foundation is to accelerate the transition to sustainable HRM. We strive to support organizations in placing employees at the center and promoting their well-being.

Vision

Our vision is that the traditional approach of treating employees as means of production is no longer sustainable. The focus on prosperity at the expense of well-being has led to an increase in stress and burnout. In a time of personnel shortages, employees have more power and choose organizations that treat them well. There is an urgent need for a new agreement with employees, with HR acting as the director of this transformation. Organizations must learn to abandon old management principles and genuinely put the employee at the center.

Goals

  • Awareness: Increasing awareness about the role of sustainable HRM in promoting employee well-being and social development.

  • Capacity Building: Strengthening the capacities of HR professionals and organizations to increase their impact and achieve sustainable change.

  • Supporting Innovation: Identifying and supporting innovative projects that provide sustainable solutions for the challenges of HRM.

  • Networking: Creating a global network of partners and stakeholders who collaborate on common goals in the field of sustainable HRM.

Activities

  • Project Funding: Providing grants and loans to projects that meet our criteria for impact and sustainability.

  • Workshops and Training: Organizing educational programs to enhance skills and knowledge within communities and organizations.

  • Networking Events: Facilitating conferences and meetings to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing between different stakeholders.

  • Research and Publications: Conducting research into best practices and publishing reports to share insights and influence policymaking.

 

The ImpactWork Foundation is committed to making a positive and lasting impact on the world by promoting innovative and sustainable HRM solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
