Altogether Better D&I Webinar: Religion and belief in the workplace

Topic that will be covered:

The UK’s Office for National Statistics data indicates that at least 170 different religions or beliefs being practised in the United Kingdom.

Consequently, UK workplaces are rich with people of different faiths and belief systems, including non-belief, which give rise to different customs and different perspectives on work, life, and death. It can all feel very confusing for employers and leaders seeking to create / develop a culture of inclusion.

During this 60-minute taster session, we will consider what organisations can do to effectively navigate religion and belief in the workplace, including:

• Definitions of Religion and Belief
• The regulatory framework and case law
• Practical issues to be addressed when recruiting, developing and promoting people.

Who should attend?

This event is suitable for:

• Leaders and Line managers
• Talent Acquisition Professionals
• Human Resources Business Partners
• Those seeking to create more consciously inclusive workplaces
• Leaders of Staff Diversity Networks
