  4. Workplace Conflicts • Agnostics and atheists • GLBTs • Muslims • Sikhs

  5. Questions • Should employees create religious employee-resource groups in the workplace? What are the pros and cons for the organizations of allowing this practice? (see charts pp. 145, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 153) • Does encouraging interfaith organizations among employees provide a competitive advantage for business? If so, how? • What potential conflicts may arise in the workplace as a result of the formation of the religious employee-resource groups and/or interfaith organizations? • If tolerance for and education about difficult religions seem to be in trend in today’s workplace, why has the number of complaints filed with the EEOC risen steadily over the past 10 years?
