This webinar aims to promote understanding of different religions and how we can all, as individuals or firms, better support religious diversity in the workplace.
You’ll learn about four different religions, including Christianity, Islam, Jainism, and Judaism. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions, with a varied panel of speakers on hand to offer insight into their personal experiences with each religion.
Diving into some of the common misconceptions, there will be a particular focus on faith in the workplace and topics such as, recruitment, accessibility, and inclusion.
We will also consider:
- How firms can educate staff about different religions to foster understanding
- The unique challenges people from different religions face in the workplace
- Steps firms can take to attract and retain talent from diverse religious backgrounds
Learning outcomes
