Despite being the most common religion in the UK, many Christian employees feel unable to comfortably express their religious identity at work, with some experiencing negative stereotyping or ridicule from colleagues.
Research carried out by and D&I consultancy Pearn Kandola found that 82% of UK-based Christian employees who would normally wear religous dress or symbols do not do so at work, and 66% of those that do feel uncomfortable doing so.
Only 55% agree their organisation is happy for them to take time off for religious festivals, and 43% say the same of their line manager.
