A Harvard Business Review article entitled, “Where Religious Identity Fits into Your DEI Strategy” provides seven practices to help companies embrace religious diversity. The sixth practice noted is to offer ongoing religious diversity skill-building opportunities.
Sixty percent of companies in North America offer regular diversity training for their employees, but few include a robust focus on religion.
Small businesses may be at a disadvantage in providing this kind of training. However, as your organization grows with more religious diversity, online courses may prove beneficial.
Hebrews 5:14 says, “But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.”
Religious training may seem appropriate for more mature organizations, but there is a time when preparation may be needed.
