Currently, I am planning research looking into the adoption of green training and development (GT&D) within NZX listed organisations. The aim of the research is to contribute to a better understanding of the extent in which GT&D is adopted in regard to isomorphic influencing pressures, content, methods of delivery and perception of effectiveness of GT&D.
