A Harvard Business Review article titled, “Creating Space for Religious Diversity at Work” highlights two principles to respect those of different religions represented in our workplaces.
The first principle, discussed previously, was cultivating vagueness. The second principle is to create space.
The article examined an Islamic bank in Germany that was led by people of different faiths. The bank established a prayer room that could be used for any religion at any time.
By establishing a room for any type of prayer, the employees felt that their own personal beliefs were respected. Bigger diverse organizations may find this approach helpful.
