How can company leaders and employees negotiate their different religious and spiritual commitments in the workplace? At a time of international debate over religious conflict and tolerance, workforces in various parts of the world are more diverse than ever before. Religion and spirituality are often central to employees' identities. From the perspective of the employer, however, they can be distracting or divisive influences. This book analyzes the situation and proposes constructive solutions based on a notion of respectful pluralism which allows space for the expression of individual beliefs and practices.
