Driving Religious Inclusion: Interfaith Leadership in the Workplace

Interfaith Leadership Skills for Corporate Professionals in HR, Inclusion, and Learning

Tuesdays, November 4 - 25

11 am - 12 pm CT, Virtual

Description

Across industries, more companies are recognizing that religious identity shapes workplace experience — from daily practices and holidays to belief, belonging, and bias. Savvy HR, learning & development, and inclusion & belonging professionals are realizing that religious diversity is a missing piece in their inclusion strategies.

This short, interactive microlearning series provides a safe space to ask hard questions, learn from peers, and gain confidence navigating religious diversity. Through real-world scenarios, legal insights, and inclusive strategies, you’ll be equipped to build a workplace where all identities—including religious and nonreligious—can thrive.

This course is intended for folks whose day-to-day work centers on HR-, learning & development-, and inclusion & belonging-related initiatives. This is a space for managers and senior leaders within these departments to explore the religious-identity dimension of workplace diversity efforts.

This course is intended for folks whose primary role is as a leader of HR, learning & development, and/or inclusion & belonging initiatives. ERG leaders (who typically engage their ERG work as secondary to their day-to-day role) are valuable leaders in this space, though not the intended audience for this offering.

No, we will not record the class sessions. Our intention is to open a space in which learners can be comfortable navigating territory that might be unfamiliar, challenging, or delicate, without concerns about what might be recorded or shared.

Our intention is for learners to sign up for the entire series of four 60-minute live sessions. Registration is for all four sessions. That said, you’re welcome to attend as many or as few of the sessions as you’d like.

The time commitment for this course is 65 minutes per week for four weeks. Every week, you will watch one 5-minute video in advance of participating in one 60-minute, interactive session.

This is not a theological or devotional course. It is a professional development opportunity grounded in the principles of equity, inclusion, and belonging with respect for all faiths and none.
