Religious Discrimination in the Workplace

The latest survey results from i4cp were released yesterday, covering religious discrimination in the workplace. The religious discrimination survey covered topics such as:

• Religious conflicts between employees
• Solutions companies use to prevent religious discrimination and conflict
• How many companies attempt to reasonably accommodate religious discrimination in the workplace?

Some of the findings that emerged were:

• 55% of companies allow flextime to employees to accommodate religious holidays
• However, only 33% granted holiday pay for such occasions
• 31% of employees have had a religious conflict in the workplace.
  
• And, perhaps most interesting, 13% of respondents said that they have witnessed employees refusing to do work with other employees based on their religious beliefs.
