How to support your employees during Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It begins and ends with the sighting of the crescent moon and typically lasts 29 or 30 days.
As an act of atonement during the month, Muslims renew their spiritual commitment through fasting, prayer, and acts of charity.
For some Muslims who have to fast up to 17 hours a day, it can be tough to manage a skewed schedule of night prayers and long hours with no food or drink alongside their professional commitments.
Managers should look to take the time to understand the cultural and spiritual sensitivities of the month and become accommodating to any necessary changes.
