Event Description:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2015 FROM 10:30 - 2P
Miller Library in Ellicott City
How can I accommodate everyone in the workplace when there are so many different religious and cultural beliefs and customs? How can I be business appropriate during holiday times without excluding people who may not celebrate a particular holiday or who have other traditions? What kind of religious accommodations am I required to make for my employees? These are just a few of the questions commonly asked around the topic of religion in the workplace by companies, organizations, and government offices throughout the year, but especially in December.
This interactive and informative workshop offered by the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights in partnership with the Howard County Office of Human Rights will provide a current review of applicable Maryland law on the issue of religious accommodation in the workplace. We will discuss relevant statistics, current cases and trends as well as possible defenses for employers. The session will also include a broader discussion and information on religious, spiritual and cultural traditions and practices that may impact the workplace.
This engaging workshop is packed full of helpful info and is open to the public! *Ideal for employers, managers, supervisors, human resource and employee relations staff in the private, non-profit and public sectors.
