Why Train on This Topic?

Federal and state laws prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of religion. These laws also require employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious observances, beliefs, and practices, unless doing so would create an undue hardship on the employer. An employer's failure to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices can lead to lawsuits and large verdicts and settlements against the employer. In the past decade, the number of religious discrimination claims received by the EEOC has increased by over 60%.

Most employers have adequate policies on reasonable accommodations. However, such policies are not effective unless all supervisors and managers have been trained how to properly apply those policies to the situations that they may encounter in real life. Global Compliance's online course, Reasonable Accommodation of Religious Practices, teaches supervisors and managers the practical skills they need to confidently and effectively handle reasonable accommodation issues.

Who Should Take This Course?

All levels of supervisors, managers and human resources professionals.


How is the Course Information Delivered?
