Summary In the recent period, with the international commercial and business scenarios becomingmore inclusive, cognitive and integrated, the workplaces in general are subjected to many typesof diversities in their operational framework. These diversities include the types of operationsthat are incorporated in the workplaces, the areas and domains of exploration as well as thedifferent types of labor force, which are present in the workplaces (Rice, 2015).
