“Muslims experience the greatest faith penalty in the labour market relative to any other religious groups.” *
Our latest podcast episode offers advice on how employers can better support their Muslim employees, as well as discussion on:
- The importance of understanding the core beliefs and practices of Islam in order to support Muslim employees more effectively
- Fairness not favours – creating conversations that educate your workforce and give agency to Muslim employees over their religious needs.
- How the expression of faith will differ in Muslim employees across different industries, and examples of good inclusivity practice
For this episode, host Professor Binna Kandola OBE welcomes Zara Mohammed, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, and Dr Abdul-Azim Ahmed, Deputy Director at the Centre for the Study of Islam, Cardiff University.
We hope you enjoy listening!
