Why a webinar on religion in the workplace?
Over the last 15 years, employees have felt increasingly comfortable expressing their religious beliefs at work with regard to observing their own religious holidays, dietary laws, garb and physical appearance, proselytizing, prayer and other practices. Employers must balance the prohibition against religious discrimination, the need to accommodate religious expression, and the obligation to ensure a workplace free of harassing conduct for all employees. These sometimes competing obligations can create difficult dilemmas for employers and employees.
To help you understand your company's obligations under federal and state law, Interfacet is pleased to provide you a swift and effective webinar to help you navigate this at-times uncharted territory. Join us for an interactive 60-minute webinar (audio conference with visuals) where you will learn:
- What constitutes a religion protected by law
- What are an employee's rights regarding religious practices at work
- What IS and IS NOT a reasonable accommodation
- How can an employer balance one employee's right to practice their religion against another employee's right to a workplace free of harassment
- What are some of the hot-button religious issues we are seeing at work and how to resolve them
Our expert: Deb Volberg Pagnotta, J.D., CEO & Founder of Interfacet, Inc., is an AV-rated lawyer who has written and trained extensively internationally on this sensitive and timely subject. (click here to learn more about Deb)
