Abstract

The sustainability of industries is a crucial goal for many sectors in Malaysia, including the palm oil industry. Numerous industries, particularly the palm oil industry, aim to achieve sustainable businesses through efficient and effective human resource management practices. However, it can be observed that there are several issues of human resource that have acted as barriers to achieving sustainability in this industry. Among the primary issues are hazardous work conditions, labor shortages, migrant workers, low wages, human rights concerns, inadequate training and agricultural skills, and the exploitation of child labor. Discussions about these issues are essential to provide current insights to the public and all parties involved directly or indirectly in the industry. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken by all stakeholders with a sense of responsibility to address these concerns. It is hoped that by addressing these issues, the Malaysian palm oil industry can move closer to achieving industrial sustainability, especially in the realm of social sustainability, and indirectly contribute to the nation's economy.
