The law requires federal agencies to accommodate the religious practices of their employees unless they can show a requested accommodation would pose an undue hardship. And, supervisors must make a good-faith effort to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs. But agencies need to know where to draw the line.
This 90-minute interactive audio conference is a must for agency HR and EEO professionals — especially with the various approaching holidays that usually bring an increase in special requests. You'll get expert guidance on:
- What is a religious belief or practice
- Which beliefs and practices need to be accommodated
- How beliefs and practices can be accommodated
- Religious expression in the workplace
- Whether religious art and literature may be displayed in the workplace
Plus, you'll get practical advice on how agencies can — and must — encourage and facilitate voluntary shift swaps and other strategies to accommodate religious beliefs and practices.
