Celebrating Religious Diversity in the Workplace

For many religious people, their faith is associated with deeply held values that inform their actions and behaviors at work as well as in their personal lives. In workplaces where employees feel comfortable talking about their religious beliefs, everyone can gain a richer understanding of their colleagues’ personal motivations and of the varied values at play in their organizations.

Religious diversity in the workplace can bring a company many benefits. From increasing retention to encouraging interpersonal development, celebrating, and acknowledging the diversity of religious beliefs can positively impact work cultures. For example, between Nov. 1 and Jan. 15, there are over 29 holidays observed by seven of the world’s major religions. Celebrating diversity in the workplace, especially during the holiday season, is key to keeping employees happy long-term.

Our speaker for this event will be Sumreen Ahmad, global change management lead at Accenture. Sumreen is a global management consultant with 20+ years’ experience in leadership development, human capital and organization design, journey and change management and strategic planning. She is extensively experienced in mobilizing and leading global initiatives, Sumreen spearheaded the efforts to develop the professional standard for all change management practitioners worldwide. In her currect role at Accenture, she is responsible for leading organization wide transformational efforts for the firms’ 637,000+ employees. She is a recognized expert in building inclusive, equal, and innovative cultures - through her leadership of Accenture’s Interfaith and Faith inclusion priority – in addition to speaking at a variety of industry conferences including; Working Mother Media, Diversity Best Practices and The Forum for Workplace Inclusion. Sumreen is committed to translating her professional skills back into community building by driving strategy development for the non-profit community and delivering youth leadership training.

Come prepared to build long-lasting relationships and meet other professionals who share your commitment to building an inclusive and diverse business culture.
