Is considering human a resource a right approach towards creating inclusive businesses

environments? In context of anthropological concepts, you have learnt, discuss this question
at length.

Human resource refers to the people who are part of the workforce. Humans are considered as
the important and crucial resource which is natural in nature because they can make use of
natural resources and create other resources by applying their knowledge and skills. The human
resource plays a significant role in the economy of a country by contributing to productivity.
The other resource becomes useful because of the input by the human resource. Humans forms
an important aspect of the business environment. We commence business for the welfare of
humans only. Business purpose is to identify the need of humans and to fulfill it. The humans
only work together for the fulfillment of their needs. So, it can be rightly said that considering
human a resource is a right approach in creating a inclusive business environment. The business
world is changing. It's shifting business climate. Regardless of whether it's the dawn of artificial
intelligence, the advent of e-commerce and automated business processes or thousands of
year-old jobs, corporate transactions must change their way of doing things.

It has been rightly said by Darwin that: 'It is not the smartest or the strongest that survive, but
the most adaptive, Adaptation and development choose the most suitable alternatives for a
specific need. The same holds true today for industry. For those who want to understand their
business and how to keep them active and active in rapidly evolving times, anthropology is
today a critical part of the company toolkit. Though anthropological research is generally
considered an analysis of human cultures of the past and present, businesses are basically
social microcosms. Every business has its own culture and approach to the outside world. By
observing in an organization, the habit, policy and practices and how they have evolved over
time, anthropologists obtain the same experience as they research large social groups. Simon
told me.

Communication in today's global marketplace necessitates fresh experiences and


communication abilities. In reality, in cross-cultural situations, the proper use of language is
often contingent on the situation. As a result, it is critical to understand the role of language in
cross-cultural environments when designing policies, practices, and initiatives. It might be
appropriate, for example, to translate policies and services into other languages in order to
carry out new initiatives around the world. Business leaders must be able to sense body
language, a primary communication element in high-context cultures, while dealing with people
from various cultures and/or nations. Body language misinterpretation may lead to unrealistic
expectations. With so many Western companies doing business in India, one of the Indians'
head gestures is a clear example of a typical cross-cultural disparity. Taking the time to learn
how to read people's body language can mean the difference between a positive and negative
outcome. These different points are indicative of the many situations that necessitate versatility
and cross-cultural communication knowledge. Finally, while English is the international business
language, not everyone speaks it fluently. When non-native English speakers interact with
native English speakers, miscommunication is common. International English, a relatively recent
concept, refers to a mode of communication increasingly used in international business, in
which non-native English speakers converse with native English speakers in English. It's
interesting to note that it takes time and practice for native English speakers to become fluent
in using International English and to stop using culturally influenced phrases or words.

Culture formed our surrounding and the people around us. It also forms and effect on the
business too. The way we think and behave as individuals at our job is influenced by culture.
Our interactions with one of our business associates are affected by culture. In today's world,
understanding culture is becoming ever more relevant with the globalization of business
through easy communication and journeying. If you work in a setting that includes people from
different cultures, you must be mindful of your own culture in each of those places. It helps
them to understand that in one or more of these areas other cultures may differ. When you
deal with people from a different country, you must be mindful of your culture (s). This would
make them more susceptible to other cultures. This attitude will help you understand other
cultures in a wider way and see things (i.e., circumstance, issue, etc.) not just from a clear point
of view. The culture of the headquarters of an organization will affect the entire organizational
culture greatly. The relationship between employees and the company, a hierarchical authority
structure and the overview of the future of the company including its function, its objectives
and their respective positions in the organization are specific factors determining the shape of
the corporate culture.

As various types of threats arise both within and outside the business world, the occurrence of
crises inside companies has increased dramatically in recent years. This necessitates a greater
understanding of such risks, as well as the inclusion of mitigation measures to deal with
emergencies when they arise. As a result, disaster management can be regarded as an essential
human function that should be given high priority. The process of predicting, recognising,
avoiding, and handling future disasters by placing in place strategies to deal with emergencies
as they occur is referred to as disaster management. The Human has an impacting role in
disaster management through planning and training to ensure employees are capable of
navigating through turbulent times. Humans play an important role in crisis management
because they improve workforce preparedness and thereby ensure successful emergency
preparation. It has been shown that having the human side of crisis management puts
organisations in a stronger position to cope with disasters as they arise.
