ABSTRACT
Scholarly research on the topic of sustainability has witnessed a dramatic increase of interest over the last several decades, resulting in diverse definitions. Recognizing a specific meaning of a sustainable workforce or sustainable workforce systems does not exist within the context of social sustainability body of literature. Through a thematic approach, this paper draws upon the various definitions of sustainability, workforce development, regenerative development, and begins to devolve a discussion, rather than an exploration of a new approach. The emerging paradigm of regenerative development serves as the link between the social aspects of sustainability and the workforce development.
