Religious Accommodations in the Workplace

 Lorman Education Services
nTo avoid lawsuits, contain costs and keep good employee morale, U.S. companies must effectively meet their legal duty to properly accommodate religion in the workplace. This is particularly true because of the rapid growth of religious cultures in the U.S. and the increasing awareness of religious workplace accommodation rights by employees. This teleconference is designed not only to update employers about legal developments in religious workplace accommodation, but to also provide practical strategies to deal with the thorny conflicts that arise when an employee seeks religious accommodation. Mr. Stewart, the presenter, has dealt with religious discrimination and accommodation issues for more than 24 years and has a wealth of experience. He will provide detailed written materials to accompany the teleconference.
