Jobs for People Who Pray at Work
The U.K. is filled with people of different religions and beliefs. Out of these religions, many people pray regularly throughout the day, which means they will need to pray during their work hours.
Some people may be filled with anxiety at the thought of praying at work due to experiencing prejudice and discrimination elsewhere. Unfortunately, some people do not understand or respect other religions and so religious people can come under frequent discrimination in the workplace.
At Aspiring to Include, our aim is to match diverse job seekers with the best opportunities. Opportunities in which they won’t face discrimination and will instead be respected and accepted for who they are. With that in mind, on this page, we are going to talk about the best jobs for people who pray at work and where to find them.
What Jobs Allow Praying at Work?
Wanting or needing to pray during the workday shouldn’t impact the jobs you are able to do. Every job should allow their employees to practice their right to religion in the workplace.
It is important to remember that religion and beliefs are protected characteristics under the Equality Act of 2010. No employer can make a decision regarding your employment based on the religion you are or that they think you are. You are protected from any workplace religious discrimination, whether direct or indirect, by U.K. Law.
So, all jobs must allow you to pray at work, however, there will be certain jobs and employers that make it much easier and provide a much more inclusive and safe environment for you to practice your religion. These are inclusive jobs with diversity-positive employers, which we can help you find right here on Aspiring to Include.
Where to Find Diversity-Positive Employers
