Religion in The Workplace

What is religion according to the law? What are lawful and unlawful
religious practices in the workplace? Religion in the workplace often
raises many questions. Religious employees may confront conflicts
between their employment obligations and their religious obligations.
Employees may feel harassed by workplace religious activity. This
interactive session will look at specific situations that may arise and
explore ways to respond.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant
of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been
all of these." --George Washington Carver
