Religion and Belief
Religious diversity has many benefits to creating an engaged, productive and inspired workforce that reflects the society we are in. It is recognised that religion can provide a source of well-being and comfort in the work environment.
Under the Equality Act 2010 the Protected Characteristic of Religion and Belief means: Religious and philosophical beliefs including having no particular religious belief. Generally, a belief should affect your life choices or the way you live for it to be included in the definition.
Inclusive workplaces accept and encourage colleagues to feel confident to bring their whole selves to work. Organisations where employees feel safe to share their faith at work will reap the benefits of religious diversity.
