Human capital
A dehumanizing way to refer to employees that reduces people to economic assets, making it easier to treat them like commodities rather than human beings.
Examples
Examples:
- "We're investing in our human capital." (we're training our employees)
- "Our human capital is our greatest asset." (our employees are important)
- "We need to optimize our human capital." (we need to make our employees more efficient)
