Equal Employment Opportunity, Title VII, and Religious Discrimination
As have seen, religious discrimination is a sticky issue. For employer's to head off many of these issues, it is necessary to be proactive by anticipating employee needs, facilitating their reasonable religious observances, giving them the information they need to realize what they need to do in the company to observe their beliefs, have consistent and transparent policies on the books and to do everything they can to reasonably accommodate the employees. If they can not do this, they should facilitate and promoted acceptable alternatives. To do this, managers and supervisors need to be trained to facilitate observance with EEO.
When rationally administered, EEO regulations can make the workplace a more humane place to work in and increase employee contentment, morale and retention. This is a win-win situation for everyone and will facilitate seeing differences as company assets and not as liabilities.
