Organisations face major disruptions and transformative change as a result of developments in the contexts in which they operate and the COVID-19 crisis. These dramatic changes highlight the need to reassess the emphasis on financial and economic outcomes at the national and organisational level. International organisations recognise the urgency of explicitly acknowledging a variety of performance outcomes as ends in themselves. Organisations need to be seen as meeting the needs of a number of stakeholders who have varying interests. There could be tensions between the desired outcomes in the financial, social and human, and ecological areas. These tensions need to be managed in a number of ways. Movement towards a broader range of performance outcomes also requires a long-term view, acknowledgement of the Sustainable Development Goals and International Labour Organisation Declarations and Initiatives, and International Trade Union Confederation recommendations. Processes of dialogue between stakeholders are essential. Human resource management (HRM) activities can contribute to these performance outcomes through a Sustainable HRM approach.
