STUDENT FIRST AUTHOR - The urgency of addressing climate change and the necessity of bolstering organizational resilience have become critical. As part of the organization's approach to Corporate Social Responsibility, the HR function must also adjust internally to external developments and to social and environmental needs. While SMEs and VSEs are free from legal duties, large and mid-cap corporations in France are bound by ecological rules and regulations. Could Green HRM serve as a strategy to foster resilience? And how does HR management fit into CSR at the scale of VSEs and SMEs and translate into real-world applications? In this study, we gather and analyze qualitative data using the grounded theory method. We investigate the effect of green HRM on organizational resilience by looking at best Green HRM practices in environmentally mature organizations in France and relate these practices to the strengthened dimension of resilience. The application of environmental practices, the effective management of transition and change, the management of sustainable performance, and the anticipation of the wave of environmental legislation at the level of VSEs and SMEs can all strengthen Green HRM's position as a strategic pillar of Organizational Resilience. In this study, we aim to equip VSMEs with appropriate instruments and suggestions to expedite their ecological shift and cultivate their adaptability.
