Abstract: Abstract Sustainability and circular economy principles are more important in today's business space. Integrating circularity into HRM will augment the attraction of the best talent, retain competent employees, foster employee skills enhancement and engagement, align their performance with sustainability goals, promote cross-functional collaboration, and strengthen the process. Further, it helps with creativity and aims for the organization's long-term environmental impact and economic resilience. It also outlines the circular economy concept, its relevance to HRM, and the potential benefits of integrating circular practices into HR processes. Digitalizing the HR process for circularity boosts efficiency, allows data-driven decision-making, makes provisions for remote working and collaboration, and facilitates learning and development. By leveraging digital technologies, HR can drive organizational change towards sustainability and circularity, empowering employees to have a positive environmental and social impact. The chapter also focuses on digitalizing human resources in the context of developing circular practices for sustainability. This chapter is helpful for HR professionals, sustainability practitioners, and organizational leaders who seek to leverage digitalization to advance circular practices and achieve sustainable business goals.
