Abstract: This paper examines the challenges surrounding sustainable human resources management (HRM), particularly in the context of budget constraints that often lead to the reduction of employee development investments. Our research focuses on developing a comprehensive model that integrates financial management tools into HRM strategies, ensuring the prioritization of sustainable practices. Through a systematic analysis of existing knowledge, we propose a solution-oriented approach that supports the financial substantiation of investments in employee development. This study addresses key research questions, emphasizing the adaptation of corporate finance tools to meet HR’s specific requirements. Our research not only identifies challenges but, more importantly, offers solutions by presenting a model that empowers organizations to align financial goals with HR development objectives. The results of our research aim to formulate a pragmatic and inventive model, offering a systematic framework for assessing the financial feasibility of initiatives in human resources development. Our model offers a practical framework for assessing the financial feasibility of HR development initiatives, facilitating informed decision-making and the promotion of sustainable HRM practices.
