Religion impacts not just employee values but also lifestyles. Such differences can put employees at odds with one another. It can also create conflict regarding their assigned job duties, dress codes, scheduling, and other workplace issues as people struggle to honor their commitment to their faith. An example would be if your Jehovah’s Witness and generally employees at restaurants get together to sing happy birthday to patrons as part of the birthday dining experience. Or even celebrate Christmas and other holidays that as Jehovah’s Witness may consider paganistic.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), under this federal law, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees on account of their religion. The law extends to recruitment, hiring, training, pay, discipline, firing, and other terms and conditions of employment.
Title VII also requires covered employers to provide a reasonable accommodation when an applicant or employee experiences conflict between work and faith-based obligations—as long as doing so would not present undue hardship upon the employer.
Reasonable accommodation can be simple and/or creative solutions that eliminate the work/religion conflict without creating undue hardship. Such examples are flexible/adjusted schedules, use of floating holidays, swapping shifts or specific job duties with other workers or job reassignment.

Hey Romana,
I have served with a soldier in the U.S. Army who is Muslim who had to abide by his beliefs and traditions even when we are training. He was celebrating Ramadan during a training event and was essentially unable to participate due to the lack of nutrients he was in taking in his body due to this fasting. This is the ninth month in the Muslim year, during which strict fasting is observed from sun rise to sunset. It definitely caused problems due the fact that he was a key member in his teams training and did not participate for that whole week we were in the field. However, we had to adapt and overcome and put someone else in that spot during that time. Good post.

Romona,
Thanks for your post! As you mention accommodations for religious beliefs are important in any job. I am in the Air Force, and as you might know, we have a fairly strict facial hair policy. However, we had a Sergent in my unit that claimed Nordic religion. He met with all of the required people and did all the required paperwork, and was allowed to have a full beard because of his religious beliefs. We do the same thing for any person of faith. Thanks again for your post!

Hi Ramona,
Thank you so much for your post. I agree with you that religion impacts employee values as well as their lifestyles and sometimes there can be differences can place employees at odds. I appreciate that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees against employers’ discrimination when it comes to hiring, recruitment, pay, discipline, and training. I have worked in the medical field and the healthcare system has evolved drastically. The healthcare field cares for individuals from many countries with diverse cultures, faith, values, economic backgrounds, and religion. It is crucial that clinicians understand all the diverse types of cultures they care for. This is where nurses should be educated on the Transcultural Nursing Theory. Understanding and implementing Transcultural Nursing Theory in my field of work with my own culture as well with others would give me the opportunity to acknowledge and value cultural differences in healthcare, beliefs, religion, and cultural traditions. Understanding culture would enable nurses and clinicians to best serve and care for their patients which would lead to better healthcare outcomes. Nurses who lack cultural ability will endure a great loss by limiting the care or services that patients and families deserve at end of life. The Transcultural Nursing Theory emphasized the importance of understanding all the diverse cultures. By understanding the diverse cultures nurses or clinicians would be better equipped to provide care to patients based on their cultural beliefs and values and allowing for better healthcare. According to Leininger, “transcultural nursing uses knowledge to provide culturally specific and universal nursing care to people. The goal of
transcultural nursing is to provide care that is congruent with cultural values, beliefs, and practices – culturally specific care (DeNisco & Barker, 2016, p. 558).
