In the USA, 'diverse workforce' is a cornerstone concept in corporate culture and HR policy, often tied to affirmative action and diversity initiatives. In Brazil, while diversity is increasingly valued, the term often refers specifically to racial and gender inclusion in traditionally homogeneous corporate environments. In Portugal, diversity initiatives are more recently emphasized in corporate contexts, with growing focus on immigration and inclusion policies.
