Religion is part of diversity
Faith is already an important part of people’s lives and the marketplace, so to be religiously tone deaf is a strategic liability. Workplaces that are mindful of this enable employees to help companies successfully navigate a more religious and religiously diverse planet.

Religion is part of diversity
The latest research shows that trying to change people’s attitudes by emphasizing bias does not produce results and can even entrench people in their beliefs about others. What does work, according to Robert Livingston, a bias researcher at the Harvard Kennedy School, is to “focus on actions and behaviors rather than hearts and minds.”

Corporate religious responsibilities
Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, companies have legal responsibilities to accommodate religious diversity, but more importantly, companies have a moral responsibility to their employees, and wise and humane leadership is good business.
An open, accepting workplace makes everyone happier, more loyal, and more productive.
Leaders Welcome Faith Equity at Work
The Corporate Religious Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI) Index
REDI ranks for the first time Fortune 100 companies based on a variety of criteria related to their public commitment to providing faith-friendly workplaces. Perhaps surprising to some, technology companies are among the most faith-friendly. The company with the best score in the 2020 REDI Index was Alphabet/Google, with Facebook, Apple, Dell and Intel also making the top 10. Tyson Foods, Target, American Airlines, Goldman Sachs and American Express round out the top spots in the scoring.
Corporations are including religion in their diversity initiatives
In 2022, the American Conservative reported that the Religious Freedom and Business Foundation (RFBF) surveyed Fortune 500 companies’ commitments to religious inclusion in the workplace. Increasingly, companies are "allowing employees to bring their whole souls to work," RFBF president Brian Grim said. "They want people to know that their faith and belief matters. This gives people of faith an official voice within the company." Companies from the most conservative to the most progressive are reaping the benefits of accommodating their employees' religious identities.
Everyone wants to feel like they belong
The New York Times recently reported that the Society for Human Resource Management conducted a survey on corporate belonging. Seventy-six percent of respondents said their organization prioritized belonging as part of its D.E.I. strategy and 64 percent said they planned to invest more in belonging initiatives this year. FaithEquity.Work can help you stay in the forefront along with the major corporations who are refreshing their DEIB commitments by bringing religion into the conversation.
