The world of work continues to change, with potentially dire predictions for the future as technology, work intensification, and workplace inequities impinge on careers, suggesting a need for increased attention on how to sustain them. This article focuses on the concept of sustainable careers: what they are, why they matter now, and what other disciplines are doing to address this phenomenon. The authors conclude with how human resource development can play a significant role in research and practice to develop both systems that foster career sustainability and individuals who are ready to embrace an evolving career climate.
