Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to emphasize integrating training for organizational sustainability with the United Nation’s (UN’s) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It shows how SDGs can be included in the training, development programs and incentives to promote sustainable practices. It guides organizations to set long-term sustainability objectives to stay competitive and adapt to changing conditions.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper conducts a review of the literature on the topic of integrating training for organizational sustainability with the SDGs. The research includes investigating the 17 SDGs and their specific areas of improvement, the benefits and challenges of integrating training for organizational sustainability with the SDGs and the best practices of organizations that have successfully integrated training for organizational sustainability with the SDGs.
Findings
The findings of this study were obtained through a systematic review of literature on the topics of human resource development, corporate social responsibility, organizational sustainability and the integration of training to promote sustainable and ethical behavior. A total of 36 articles were selected from a pool of 120 articles identified through a comprehensive search of electronic databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The selected articles were analyzed in detail, and information from the UN was also incorporated into the analysis. The review focused on examining the impact of integrating sustainability training with the SDGs on organizational sustainability. The results of this analysis suggest that integrating sustainability training with SDGs has a positive impact on organizations.

Abstract
Purpose
The importance of employee development programs (EDPs) has been evolving as businesses continue to change and employees continue to have different motivations. Understanding what motivates employees to continue working in a company can help managers have a more successful future. The relationship development between employees and managers can be more easily achieved with an established EDP with goals and motivations communicated. Both employees and managers can influence a positive culture. The authors use the social exchange theory (SET) to help explain this process.
Design/methodology/approach
A review of previous research was conducted. Looking through the social exchange lens, the authors developed practical implications of best practices for employee development (ED).
Findings
Findings of this study should guide organizations to develop, improve or maintain effective EDPs.
Originality/value
This paper uses social exchange theory to foster best practices for EDPs.

Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
US researchers reviewed previous studies of employee development programs (EDPs) to search for practical implications for organizations. They concluded that EDPs can be used to build a more cohesive workforce, achieving employee motivation, productivity, satisfaction and retention. Building mutual relationships between managers and employees using scheduled, formal EDPs will, therefore, benefit organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
