TrainingBriefs® Why’s She Wearing That?

Today’s inclusive and respectful workplace culture means that the ability to practice your religion and religious traditions is up to you. Being respectful of that means not bringing religions into conversations inappropriately and not disrespecting colleagues based on their religious practices or religious dress.

People in the workplace adhere to different religious practices based upon their faith. Some of these practices include wearing something like a crucifix. For others, it means wearing a piece of attire such as a hijab. We must always avoid any discriminatory behavior towards anyone based on their religious beliefs or expression.
