Spanish term or phrase: cobrando capital valor
"La creciente complejidad del mercado de la que se enfrenta la empresa, hace que, para mantener su competitividad, se vea obligada de la necesisdad de maximizar el aprovechamiento de todo el potencial humano de la organización, **cobrando capital valor** todo aquello que no es trabajo manual sino aspectos más relacionadaos con el conocimiento y otras características de las personas que no se pueden gestionar según las formas tradicionales de gestión."

I'm having trouble with this part of the sentence. Does it mean that all the non-manual work/aspects is/are of capital importance? Not sure how "cobrando" fits in.
