With all the policy areas within human resources, many HR directors are opting for the role of broker, in which the policy areas are outsourced to specialists to ensure compliance. For many organizations, this is not economical. They expect the HR department to be generalists, to write policies, manage them along with line managers, and—above all—resolve any disputes.

For this assignment, write a 1-2 page paper to address personal values and their role related to diversity in the workplace. In your opinion, how can HR managers and line managers balance personal values with the responsibility to company policies and the law? How can an employer ensure that all members of their management team understand the laws and are acting within legal guidelines? What are some of the most effective ways for an organization to manage diversity? Address these questions and provide your supporting rationale.
