Straight from the Source: Religious Accommodation

This is a members-only webinar presented through Zoom.

Straight from the Source is a free virtual event presented exclusively for members of HR Source. Mary Lynn Fayoumi, President & CEO of HR Source, hosts an interview with various subject matter experts addressing critical and timely issues impacting employers. The style is fast-paced, conversational and pragmatic. Participants are encouraged to get involved by asking questions throughout the program.

Religious accommodation in the workplace may pose challenges due to the legal complexity and lack of familiarity with the nature of these requests. The Supreme Court's recent decision in Groff vs. DeJoy brought new dynamics into the analysis while also enhancing employees' rights to receive accommodation for their religious practices. Join Zanah Ghalawanji, Staff Attorney for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Mary Lynn as they consider real-world cases, clear the confusion, and propose practical strategies for employers to balance inclusion, compliance, and business needs when considering religious accommodation requests.
