WE UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES MUSLIM PROFESSIONALS FACE BALANCING FAITH OBLIGATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL ASPIRATIONS

About

In the workplace, Muslim professionals face the most significant impact on their daily routine due to their unique religious obligations. We conducted a survey of over 500 Muslim professionals to gain insight into how they navigate this delicate balance.

 

An overwhelming 90% expressed difficulties in reconciling their faith obligations with their career aspirations amidst challenging corporate norms. The Muslim Employment Charter (MEC) is an ambitious apolitical DE&I initiative. We understand the main challenges Muslim professionals may face in the workplace and offer a solution to help employers create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

 

Employers who partner with MEC commit to implementing our charter into their organisation. As part of our services, we also deliver bespoke training to help employers better understand how Islam translates into the modern workplace. Our goal is to help employers create an environment where Muslim professionals can thrive in their careers without compromising their religious duties.
