I was reading an article the other day that talked about diversity vs. cultural competency. I thought it was very interesting to see how the author described the differences between diversity vs. cultural competency. Diversity is what people have as physical, demographic and intellectual differences. Cultural competency is beyond diversity, it relates to a person's race, ethnicity, cultural background, believes, behaviors. This brings me to human capital, to me is when an employer takes advantage of employees' vast intellectual diversity such as education, thinking process, way of approaching solutions, knowledge, decision making, and values. This is human capital as it relates to cultural diversity. What do you think?
