Islamophobia and Other Religious Challenges: Best Practices in the Federal Workplace



Both the Supreme Court and the EEOC have reinforced the rights of employees and applicants to engage in sincerely held religious practices. What does this mean for your agency and those employees who don’t share the same religious beliefs?

 

In 90 minutes, Oliver Allen will guide you through how to recognize and address all types of religious issues in your workplace — including the increasingly prevalent issue of Islamophobia. When does religious expression cross the line into unlawful harassment? What should you do when a religious accommodation is requested? How do you address anti-Islamic comments or behavior? You’ll get the crucial guidance needed to ensure an employee’s religious rights are protected and your agency’s responsibilities are met. You’ll also learn how to neutralize any negativity toward Muslim employees.

 

Get guidance from a federal EEO expert on how to:

  • Address claims of religious harassment
  • Grant religious comp time
  • Address requests for religious accommodations
  • And more

Who Should Attend:

  • EEO directors and civil rights executives
  • EEO specialists
  • EEO program officials
  • Diversity and inclusion officials
  • HR professionals
  • EEO investigators
  • EEO counselors
  • Attorneys
  • Agency representatives
  • Supervisors and Managers
