Abstract

This thesis conducts a comprehensive analysis of the concept of sustainable development and its multifaceted impact on employee well-being. The primary goal is to synthesize the theoretical foundations of sustainability, examine its three core pillars (economic, social, and environmental), and evaluate how its integration into corporate strategy influences the workforce, with a specific focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a synthetic analysis and an extensive literature review of theoretical frameworks, international policies like the UN's 2030 Agenda, and successful corporate practices, the study establishes a direct and interdependent relationship between sustainability and employee well-being. The findings indicate that economic sustainability fosters long-term financial stability and job security, social sustainability promotes fair labor practices and a positive work environment crucial for employee satisfaction, and environmental responsibility creates a healthier workplace while mitigating operational risks. Case studies from Greece reveal that while large corporations implement successful CSR initiatives, a significant awareness gap exists among smaller enterprises and the public. Key challenges to well-being include work overload and social inequalities, whereas opportunities arise from green jobs and human capital development. The thesis concludes that integrating sustainability into corporate strategy is a practical necessity for long-term viability and enhanced employee well-being, though its implementation is often hindered by a knowledge gap. Therefore, prioritizing employee well-being is identified as a cornerstone of any effective sustainable development strategy, requiring strengthened educational programs, policy incentives, and corporate transparency to succeed.
