Holidays and Religion in the Municipal Workplace
Municipal workplaces may take on the appearance of a “winter wonderland” as the winter solstice approaches. Not everyone, though, shares in the joys of the season in the same way as everyone else. This webinar looks at the range of actions and displays that occur from the permitted to the prohibited to the uncertain, and seeks to provide assistance in crafting policies to guide municipal actions. Also included is an update on the topic of religious apparel in the workplace.
