Religion in a Changing Workplace

Autor Elaine Howard Ecklund, Denise Daniels, Christopher P. Scheitle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2024
Employees are increasingly embracing the notion of "bringing their whole selves to work," and many employers are encouraging them. Those whole selves often include religious identities, however, and that can make things complicated. Employers can be uncertain about how to respond to workers' religious identities and afraid that such expression will lead to conflict.Elaine Howard Ecklund, Denise Daniels, and Christopher P. Scheitle have conducted more than 15,000 surveys and 300 in-depth interviews on the subject of faith at work in the US. In this thoughtful exploration of religious identities in the workplace--the culmination of five years of research--the authors make the case for inclusion and argue that employers should accommodate religious self-expression at work. Their data-driven but accessible approach uses up-to-date research to show how a wide range of workers understand their work vis-a-vis their faith, and how religious identities overlap with--and may be key to fostering--other kinds of diversity. By looking at how workers from a variety of religious traditions and social groups are bringing their faith into the workplace, the authors identify why and how organizations can foster a diversity of religious beliefs and expressions in the workplace. This book will help organizational leaders, workers, and scholars understand both the challenges and benefits of the integration of faith at work and to respond thoughtfully and respectfully to the presence of religion in the workplace.

Recenzii

Religion in a Changing Workplace is based on a landmark study of religion and work in America. With their rich and exhaustive data, Ecklund, Daniels, and Scheitle illuminate both the salience and challenges of integrating faith and work, and offer insightful recommendations for creating thriving workplaces for all employees. The book is a must-read for scholars, students, and management professionals who want to understand the contours of religion in the workplace today.
As a growing number of corporations are adding faith and belief initiatives to their diversity and belonging initiatives, this essential book by Ecklund, Daniels and Scheitle will help employers see why people's deeply held beliefs and worldviews are not just something to be tolerated, but are business assets that inspire and motivate the work lives and careers of millions. Indeed, as the workplace changes and populations become more religiously diverse, it is undeniable that the next big thing in workplace DEI programs is religion.
