The decision to “implement DEI practices” is sometimes viewed as a quick and definitive response to addressing the needs of an organization. However, for many organizations, implementing DEI as a “solution” requires support from leadership and an intentional approach based on a collective effort. Or to say it a little differently, implementing DEI requires strong leadership support, a clear strategy, and shared accountability.
Championing and supporting DEI work should never rest as the primary responsibility of a single person or team within the organization.
