A Harvard Business Review article entitled, “Where Religious Identity Fits into Your DEI Strategy” provides seven practices to help companies embrace religious diversity. The fifth practice discussed was to provide meaningful and flexible accommodations for employees’ diverse religious practices.
Practical recommendations were explored like, when you create time off policies, consider floating holidays to accommodate different religious holidays. Also be respectful of religious dietary restrictions when hosting work events.
Some leaders may prayerfully consider how far they are willing to go, but the key is loving and respecting your team members.
Romans 12:10 teaches, “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
Our workplaces are more diverse. Loving our employees requires that we honor them as individuals, even when their views differ from ours.
