Religious Diversity in the Workplace

Employees and Religious Values

Employees bring their beliefs and religious values to work, and this can be a source of either positive performance or negative conflict. Social conflicts around religion impact more than societies and communities. They also impact organizations.

Anti-religion Sentiments

''Anti-religion'' sentiments tend to be based on the perception that religion can be neatly separated from the ''more acceptable/palatable'' spirituality, but this ignores the fact that - for most people - the two are intimately intertwined and inseparable.

Religious Identity and Organizational Impact

As religious identity is salient for a majority of the world's population, it is thus an important aspect of organizations - particularly those with a large and diverse body of employees.
