It is said 'Don't talk about Religion or Politics at Work.' When employees are asked to leave their faith at the door, for many they keep a significant part of themselves out of the workplace. This hurts their productivity and their sense of belonging at work. Discover how to create a culture where employees respect each other's faith beliefs.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to explain why it is important to be able to talk about faith at work.
- Learn some techniques for creating safe conversations around faith.
- Learn how to integrate faith into one's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging strategy.
