Managing religion and belief in the workplace
Created: 21/05/2018ACAS has produced new guidance on managing religion and belief in the workplace.
The guide encourages employers to make sure their workplaces are ‘inclusive’. For example, so employees feel:
• they belong
• are not disadvantaged or under-valued because they hold a certain religious faith or philosophical belief, and
• their beliefs and/or religious observances are respected.
While employers and employees can be liable for their own acts of discrimination, employers can also be liable for their employees’ acts.
It's worth having a read, and of course, looking at the wide range of guidance on the ACAS website - it's well-written and easy to follow.
