Work Calendar
If you haven’t done so already, ask HR / Diversity and Inclusion managers if your organisation will allow religious festivals to be highlighted on your work calendar with pop up boxes explaining what the festivals are about. This is a great opportunity for all staff to learn about other faiths from their colleagues. Ask if you as the Chair / Leader of the Christian Group could write the information about Christmas and Easter. Make sure there is a link to your Christian Workplace Group in the pop up information boxes so staff can connect and receive support from your group.
