The relationship between diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and Human Resources (HR) is often complicated. While there is overlap and the need to work together, there are stark differences. Many HR practitioners get involved or voluntold (volunteered without being asked) to manage DEI at their organizations without the skills and resources to genuinely support DEI efforts.

To better manage this complex relationship, consider this list of best practices for HR leaders who are managing DEI:

1. Start with your own education
2. Advocate for the appropriate budget
3. Ensure you have a seat at the leadership table
4. Engage your allies
5. Measure the business impact of DEI
