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.
