It’s understoodthat the humanized company is one that, focused on its employeesand/or on the external environment, links other values besides maximizing the return for the stockholders. Continuing on this line are mentioned companies that, in the internal environment, promote an enhancement in quality of life and of work, concentrating on the construction of more democratic and just relationship, reducing inequality and racial, gender and belief prejudice, besides contributing to the development and growth of people.
