Ramadan begins this weekend. Now, more than ever, HR should provide a safe and inclusive workplace for Muslim colleagues.

The way a person practices their faith will vary from one person to another. But business leaders can support Muslim employees in many ways.

A well-balanced workforce should reflect the diversity of society, and that means leaders should accommodate the needs of every religion and culture.

HR professionals have a key role to play when it comes to supporting Muslim employees during Ramadan, including planning a work day around fasting and giving workers the necessary time off.
