Eid Al-Adha, is the second major Muslim festival celebrated worldwide. Eid Al-Adha marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage. The day of Eid Al-Adha falls on the tenth day in the final (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar, Dhu-al-Hijjah, where they pray in the morning and indulge in delicious meals in the evening in the company of family and friends.
How to observe Eid Al-Adha at the workplace?:
Be Flexible: Flexible working hours can be a good way of allowing employees to work when they are most productive. If you have colleagues who will be praying in the morning, ask them if they need accommodation for meeting times. Some employees may request to change their working shift times, take a shorter/longer lunch break or work from home. They may want to ensure they finish on time to celebrate with their family or friends.
Provide Resources: Honoring Eid Al-Adha in the workplace is crucial to show appreciation. Send out an email or provide accessible resources in the office that include information about Eid Al-Adha so everyone can learn more about the significance of this holiday.
Provide Space: Many Muslims pray multiple times a day, and some of these periods may fall during work hours. Providing a prayer space, such as an empty conference room, helps Muslim employees feel included and welcomed in the workplace.
