Comments on: Religion at Work https://www.evilhrlady.org/2010/12/religion-at-work.html Everything to make HR better Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:04:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.4 By: Mike https://www.evilhrlady.org/2010/12/religion-at-work.html#comment-6095 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:04:41 +0000 http://localhost/wordpress/2010/12/religion-at-work.html#comment-6095 The best way to deal with a coworker is to simply communicate the problem to her directly. Approaching you coworker one on one in a respectful manner will usually give you the best results. If you're not a fan of confrontations or don't want her to know it's you that's annoyed, then there's a website that will send her a letter about the problem for you, yoneighbors.com. Good luck!

I even considered filing a "hostile workplace" complaint with the EEOC.

The manager told me "There was nothing the company could do about it." At that point, I decided that I should pick my fights and that this one wasn't one I could win without heavy loss.

So I had to endure it. To say it undermined me as a supervisor and that it severely damaged my morale is an understatement. I was eventually "administratively terminated" after an injury left me unable to perform the work – But that's another story.

Good luck with this. It may get ugly.

I would approach this coworker and simply tell her that if she did not stop banging her religion into everyone here in the office there are going to be some severe consequences. Inform her that everyone has the right to serve which ever God they may choose and that's what you guys plan to do. Let her know that she is makeing if uncomformtable for everyone and that she is running people away. If things do not change after this HR needs not to be afraid, but they need to mediate and resolve this situation. If people are uncomfortable they cannot perform their jobs at their best. HR knows that productivity and quality are key to successful organizations. With that being said, they will solve this issue.
