Where We Work
Interfaith America supports corporate leaders on a journey from compliance to engagement for all.
Americans say they encounter religious diversity at work more than in any other sphere of their lives (PRRI, 2019). Religious diversity is often left out of corporate inclusion strategies, but it can be an enormous asset when engaged with care. Interfaith America offers keynote speeches, trainings and customized consultations to equip and support businesses to engage religious diversity in alignment with their core values.
Diverse teams perform better — but only if team members have opportunities to engage their differences and share their strengths. When leaders intentionally engage this facet of identity, they strengthen a culture of productive engagement for all in their workplace and open up new opportunities for business growth.
Interfaith America works with CEOs, Chief Diversity Officers, ERG leaders, Talent Development teams, and others to build leadership skills to engage religion in the workplace. Interfaith America team members will offer an inspiring keynote at your company conference or speaker series, co-create and deliver training for managers using case studies and effective models that align with your company’s existing diversity goals, help launch an Interfaith ERG using proven best practices, or lead a customized consultation so your team can engage religious diversity more thoughtfully and effectively.
Work with us to build your institution’s capacity to engage religious and worldview diversity. We offer keynote speeches, trainings and customized consultations to equip and support businesses to engage religious diversity in alignment with their core values.
“I keep in touch with RISE members I’ve met in our meeting breakout rooms, and we share tips and tricks [for interfaith engagement]. Having a community to share my experiences with has been awesome. I would recommend every company with an interfaith employee resource group to send one or two staff members to RISE.”
– Richard Carter, National Interfaith ERG Lead, West Monroe
“As an early career HR professional, it can be challenging to know how to talk to staff and coworkers about religious diversity within the workplace without raising their concerns. RISE has given me a community of peers to engage our shared challenges and brainstorm unique solutions for each of our organizations.”
– Jay Lazur, HR Generalist, Charles River Community Health
