Religion in the Workplace

Our annual all-staff diversity training initiative this year was an interesting one. I hope you learned more about the issues surrounding this subject as they relate to food, networks, space, practices, holidays, dress and policies.  The HR/Diversity committee is working hard to ensure that we raise our awareness of a wide range of topics and it was good to learn from one of UTK's faculty members.

The "World Religions Fact Sheet" from Tanenbaum is an interesting reference document about religions and belief systems. I certainly learned more about Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and a wide range of others that are different from my own. Who knew there are 22 major world religions?

We will post all the learning material on our Intranet site so that it will be available for future reference and study.
