Inspiration #8: Let’s Coexist

01/31/2019 by Keith Wewe

Let’s face it, religion is a hot button issue in today’s society – which stands to reason since our religious beliefs are deeply intertwined with our stances on many of the moral issues upon which we define ourselves. However, as we continue a diversity and inclusion program focused largely on ethnicity, with that comes people of different religious beliefs. Beliefs that require a high degree of acceptance for teams to flourish.

While completing our own research on religious diversity, we happened upon an article from Diversity Council Australia https://www.dca.org.au entitled “Practical Ways to Promote Religious Diversity in the Workplace https://www.dca.org.au/opinion-pieces/practical-ways-promote-religious-diversity-workplace .” We suggest you review this article. It’s a quick read. With that said, here are a few of our favorite take-aways:

  1. Create a quiet room for times of reflection or meditation.
  2. In addition to “floating holidays,” consider having “floating cultural holidays” where an employee can take culturally significant days off.
  3. Encourage work socialization that involves eating rather than just drinking alcohol.
  4. Add religious diversity as part of your educational series.

We continue to wish you success in your D&I journey.
