As the focus on diversity and inclusion in the
workplace grows, so does the visibility of faith in
the workplace. When the organization’s values align
with those of its employees, there is positive impact
on employee and customer loyalty, productivity and
customer satisfaction. This study found that employee
morale (62%), retention (38%) and loyalty (37%) are
most affected when organizations grant religious accommodation
to their employees.
The tenets of many religions, such as acting with integrity
and treating others with respect, can easily be
incorporated into workplace conduct. These tenets inmost cases serve as an ethical compass and part of the
individual’s well-being. Organizations can benefit by
tapping into the religious diversity of their workforce.
By creating diverse teams within their organizations,
employers will be able to make the most of the
unique talents, experiences and backgrounds of their
workforce to succeed in a very competitive global
marketplace.
