Abstract

In the knowledge-driven and technology-fuelled economy of the twenty-first century, intangibles are gaining increasing importance. Optimum utilization and maximum ROI on the capital of the organization forms the fulcrum leveraging the profitability and liquidity of an organization providing it with the necessary competitive edge in the market. Of all the intangible assets owned by an organization, the increasing recognition of Human Capital – knowledge pool and creativity of employees with diverse backgrounds - as an important determinant of the bottom line of organizations has led to several studies on different aspects of Human Capital. However, this Paper is a modest attempt to look at enhancement of human capital from the limited perspective of diversity in organizations. Consequently, the Paper discusses the dimensions of diversity, methods of handling diversity, metrics of diversity and the diversity quotient based on the studies of academics and practices of successful organizations and stresses the importance of providing a conducive work atmosphere for diverse workforces.
