Key findings from business psychology experts at Pearn Kandola show that a substantial 38% of Hindu workers in the UK have faced unjustified rejections of their requests for leave to observe religious holidays or festivals by their employers.
In significant contrast to their counterparts in the US, where 44% receive support, just 5% of Hindu employees in the UK feel their organizations embrace time off for religious celebrations.
These findings highlight the inadequacy of UK workplaces in fostering inclusivity for Hindu employees, resulting in sentiments of isolation and disconnection from their colleagues.”
