Religious and Cultural Diversity Calendar
At Hinton & Company, we believe every person has value and deserves to be seen. We also believe the role of a leader is to create a space where every member of their team feels a sense of belonging and brings their best self to the workplace every day. Leaders do this by acknowledging their team members diverse backgrounds, cultures, and faiths. To do so allows for team members of different religious backgrounds to honor their beliefs and customs, which could impact how those team members show up for the organization.
Why this is important:
Provides a snapshot of cultural and religious holidays and heritage celebrations.
Acknowledges diverse backgrounds, religions, and cultures.
It can help build a more inclusive culture for organizations.
It is in this spirit we share our Religious and Cultural Diversity Calendar - a high-level guide on how religious traditions could impact schedules or participation in work duties. While the calendar does not provide an in-depth explanation of these important days, it does give leaders a sense of what they could expect.
How can you use this calendar to promote inclusion?
Share with stakeholders to highlight messaging around inclusion:
Internally in messaging platforms like email, Yammer, Slack, or your intranet
Externally with contractors, vendors or suppliers.
Encourage managers to reference this calendar when considering team huddles, events, meetings, and employee requests for time off.
Take time to acknowledge the holidays and heritage celebrations throughout the year.
Get inclusive.
We understand religious diversity is a major topic of discussion in today's workplace. We’re here to make sure your workplace is as accommodating, engaging and effective as possible. Thank you for choosing to be an inclusive leader. We are rooting for you in all your inclusion efforts.
