Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Tim Garrett authored an article detailing how employers can navigate the changing cultural landscape in a way that balances the differing needs and rights of various “constituencies.” As Tim points out, while the “workforce continues to grow and diversify , it would appear that the workplace has become the frontline of America’s cultural war.” In this first article in a three-part series on the topic, Tim examines how religious accommodations can be approached when personal views are expressed outside of the office but those views may impact the treatment of employees inside the workplace.
The full article, “Is Your Workplace the New Battleground for the Culture Wars?,” was published by InsideCounsel on September 15, 2015 and is available online.
