Religious expression in the workplace is not a level playing field, suggests a new report looking into the treatment of Hindu employees in British workplaces.
Almost two-fifths of UK-based Hindu employees have had an annual leave request to celebrate a religious holiday or festival rejected without good reason, says the Religion at Work: Experiences of Hindu Employees report, published today by leading business-psychology consultancy Pearn Kandola.
The report on Hindu employees’ representation and treatment in the workplace follows the appointment of its first Hindu Prime Minister. However, this historical moment in British history should not allow diversity at the top to distract businesses from a lack of inclusion and representation overall.
