Kelly Goode, who recently retired after nearly 30 years in federal and private sector EEO/DEi, will address current compliance issues your agency now faces, focusing on religious accommodation related to vaccines and masking, as well as the balancing of First Amendment religious expression rights with the civil rights of others, specifically LGBTQ+ employees. You will leave equipped with the knowledge and strategies to adopt inclusive workplace strategies that encompass religious diversity and accommodation. Plus, you'll learn best practices to: Respond to requests for exceptions, as a religious accommodation, to mandatory COVID testing, masking and vaccination policies Address an employee's request for exemption from attending required LGBTQ+ training as a religious accommodation Recognize when specific religious expression creates a discriminatory hostile work environment that precludes it from being allowed as a religious accommodation Determine if a requested religious accommodation would create an undue hardship such that it can be denied Identify when documentation of religious beliefs can be requested in response to a religious accommodation request | |||
