New Perspectives on Innovative Workplaces in a Global Future That is More Religious

Description

As companies globalize, they need employees who can relate to the daily experience of increasingly diverse customers. For billions of potential customers, including in the world’s fastest-growing economies, religious belief and practice are a part of daily life. Having employees who understand the ways religion manifests in private and public life will help companies avoid costly missteps and develop products and services better tailored to customer needs, and an essential part of being competitive.

Employees that feel free to bring their entire self and identify to work demonstrate higher levels of innovation, creativity and positive working environments, directly affecting business success. On the other hand, organizations that have environments of exclusion, intentional or not, risk excluding the next great business solution, the next great product idea, or talent retention. This workshop will promote global citizenship through successfully navigating religion in the workplace.
