MANAGING SECURE MULTICULTURAL HUMAN RESOURCES AT INDUSTRIES

Abstract

Large-scale commercial operators of manufacturing and service sectors in industrialized countries are the largest employers, taxpayers, but also the producers of basic and essential goods and services. Because of its importance of individual branches of industry and services they are so called critical infrastructures (CI), which undoubtedly include energy, traffic and transportation, telecommunications, health system, banking system, the production of food and drinking water and the like. The importance and the role that these systems play in our modern world, that is, in human, material, information resources at their disposal, financial and political power they generate, however, do not make them the most stable elements of society. By integrating safety and health at work and environmental protection into a single segment (HSE) and the creation of management system in which responsibility and jurisdiction such mentioned activities are included, one of the main and biggest steps in cooperation between the state and the private sector is made. Human population migrates, leaving their sites and they are prepared for the new ”moving”, primarily driven by socioeconomic, political and then the security considerations. A multicultural workforce is rapidly and irreversibly becoming standard in many business organizations, but also other directions. Managing a multicultural work environment is not simple or easy job for HSE management, and confirmation of that can be drawn from examples and experience of multiethnic or multinational states.
