August 14 Fostering a Respect for Diverse Religious Beliefs in the Workplace You have posted your EEO posters about religious discrimination, you have established polices and conducted training on religious discrimination – now that you have covered the “legal” bases on this topic, its time to go a step further to create a climate of respect for the ever-increasing variety of religious expression in the Northeast Pennsylvania workplace. The workshop facilitator, Arthur W. Breese, M.S., M.A. is the Director of Diversity at Geisinger Health System. He is also a member of the Luzerne County Diversity Taskforce and a member of the Wilkes-Barre branch of the NAACP. Arthur will lead an inter-active workshop designed to create an awareness of the expanding spectrum of religious expressions within our organizations. Workshop participants will examine the realities and challenges presented by the intersection of religion and workplace such as carrying, use and display of religious implements and symbols; belief-mandated clothing and hairstyles; accommodation for participation in religious services; and issues related to workplace sponsored observances. Participants will also explore the concept of privilege and how that impacts religion in the workplace.
