Management can no longer ask employees to leave their religious beliefs and traditions at home.
The relationship between religion and business in the United States has moved into a decisive new phase. Not long ago the topic might be politely avoided at the office. Now it’s more likely that religion itself — from its role in ESG-related controversies to its practice among employees — might be the main topic.The first was the controversial swirl of circumstances around the plans of the Los Angeles Dodgers to celebrate Pride Night at Dodger Stadium last June 16.
The other key event came a few weeks later: The unanimous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that employers must accommodate employees’ religious concerns unless such concerns pose a “substantial burden” on a business. The previous standard had held that a business for minimal reasons could deny such an accommodation.
Ethical guideposts In the face of this new moment, what are key ethical guideposts for executives to keep in mind? Some such views come from old-time religion. Some come from religions in renewal. Some come from religions such as Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism that are more present than ever in American life. And some come from non-religious world views of great depth and richness. From this framing, Taylor argues, several key ethical principles flow: Treat all equally; give all a hearing; seek harmony among all.
“ Despite the concerns that religious participation is fading, enough people still consider it vital to their life. ”
