In the very narrow context of
corporate "human resources" management, there is a contrasting pull to reflect and
require workplace
diversitythat echoes the diversity of a
global customer base. Such programs require foreign language and culture skills, ingenuity, humour, and
careful listening. These indicate a general shift through the human capital point of view to an
acknowledgment that human beings contribute more to a productive enterprise than just "work": they bring
their character, ethics, creativity, social connections, and in some cases pets and children, and alter the
character of a workplace. The term corporate
cultureis used to characterize such
processes at the organizational level.
