Navigating Religious Diversity in the Workplace

In our increasingly interconnected and global workplaces, and in a world where religious differences and tensions are heightened, acknowledging, discussing, and navigating religious diversity can be challenging.

• What is the connection of religion to work or what “should” the role of religion be at work
• How do we build workplaces that are both secular and inclusive of religious diversity?
• How do we manage, navigate and reconcile tensions between beliefs?
• How do we ensure religious traditions and sentiments are recognized fairly and equitably?

This interactive workshop leverages an anthropological perspective to explore the phenomenon of religion within the context of the current social, political, and workplace dynamics. Participants will work with real-life situations and scenarios to discover practical techniques and strategies for creating environments where both secular and religious identities are acknowledged, respected, and supported.
