Oxford poll: People with faith fear revealing their religious life at work

Christians are more likely than other faith groups to think that their faith is a taboo subject at work.

According to rahyafte (the missionaries and converts website): Yet another poll about religion in the workplace, with the publication of research from the Oxford based consulting firm, Pearn Kandola, which surveyed 6,000 people in the UK and US from six different faiths: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism.

The research suggests that people with faith are in the minority at work and many do not feel comfortable expressing their religious beliefs to their colleagues, fearing judgment and exclusion.

It says that religion is often overlooked within diversity and inclusion strategies, which may lead to managers being unaware of their employees’ needs.

Christians are more likely than other faith groups to think that their faith is a taboo subject at work.

UK employees were more likely than Americans, to have requests for religious holiday leave rejected.
