If you're not providing "reasonable" accommodations for your spiritually diverse workforce, it could cost you:

• In August, a federal jury awarded $735,000 to a former Queens-Midtown Tunnel employee who alleged that he was denied a promotion and penalized for taking sick days because he was Jewish.
• AT&T Inc. recently had to shell out $756,000 after two male customer service technicians were suspended and fired for attending a Jehovah’s Witnesses Convention.
• A Phoenix jury recently awarded more than $287,000 in a religious discrimination suit against Alamo Car Rental for alleged post-9/11 backlash. The company fired a Somali customer sales representative in December 2001 for refusing to remove her head scarf during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
• And the numbers just keep climbing. Religious discrimination complaints have more than doubled in the past 15 years, from 1,388 in 1992 to 2,880 in 2007, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Learn how to shield your organization against discrimination claims by participating in the all-new HR Hero audio conference, New EEOC Religious Discrimination and Accommodation Guidance. In just 90 minutes, an experienced employment law attorney will walk you through the new EEOC guidance on religious discrimination and will show you how to provide reasonable accommodations for every worker's spiritual beliefs and practices.

Your speaker will also cover:

• What part of the EEOC guidelines employers must follow to avoid being slapped with a discrimination claim: How to avoid disparate treatment based on religion and the requirement to reasonably accommodate religious beliefs and practices; religion-based harassment; and retaliation
• The evidence needed by an employee to prove religious discrimination and how "religion" is defined under Title VII
• Why so many employers are now facing discrimination complaints, and how your organization can avoid a similar fate
• How to prevent a hostile work environment when your supervisors and employees don’t share the same religious beliefs
• Specific types of clothes or dress styles that are subject to attack in the workplace, and how prohibiting certain clothes can invite a religious discrimination claim
• How to communicate your organization’s rules to your entire workforce regarding policies against discrimination or retaliation based on a person’s religion
• What to do when job assignments and religion clash
• How to deal with employee requests to express religious beliefs or practices at work
