A new report from diversity and inclusion consultancy Pearn Kandola, published on 1st October 2024, shows that <strong>36% of Muslims and 47% of Jewish employees<\/strong> believe that discrimination has increased since the conflict&#8217;s escalation. This rise in hostility highlights the deepening intersection of racism and religious discrimination in UK workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Findings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pearn Kandola\u2019s report investigated discrimination experiences among Muslim and Jewish employees in the UK over the past year. The survey of 500 Jewish and 500 Muslim workers revealed that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>24% of UK Muslim workers<\/strong> and <strong>39% of Jewish workers<\/strong> have faced direct discrimination since 7th October 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only <strong>16% of Muslim workers<\/strong> and <strong>29% of Jewish workers<\/strong> reported incidents to HR teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A significant portion of both groups feel unsupported by their employers, with <strong>21% of Muslims<\/strong> and <strong>31% of Jewish employees<\/strong> stating they feel isolated and without adequate backing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This data exposes not just a surge in religious intolerance but also points to systemic failings in how discrimination is managed within organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emotional Impact on Workers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For both groups, the emotional toll is significant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Muslim workers<\/strong> reported feeling <strong>hurt (42%), angry (36%),<\/strong> and <strong>isolated (28%).<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jewish workers<\/strong> said they felt <strong>hurt (29%), scared (28%), and unsafe (24%).<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These feelings reflect a broader sense of alienation among employees whose religious identities are being challenged or sidelined at work. The report highlights how the spread of misinformation, particularly via social media platforms, has exacerbated these issues. Social media has been identified as a harmful influence, fostering Islamophobia and antisemitism by distorting facts and perpetuating stereotypes.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intersectionality of Race and Religion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intersectionality between racism and religious discrimination is crucial to understanding the experiences of Muslim and Jewish workers. Both communities often face challenges that are not solely tied to their faith but also to their ethnic backgrounds. The rise in Islamophobia has disproportionately affected ethnically diverse Muslim employees, while antisemitism has long been tied to anti-ethnic sentiment towards Jewish communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shakil Butt, founder of consultancy HR Hero for Hire, emphasises the importance of recognising the interconnectedness of faith and ethnicity. He states, \u201cBoth Jewish and Muslim employees share a spiritual connection to their global community. Events happening elsewhere will impact them here at work, and employers need to facilitate balanced conversations that respect all human life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This highlights the importance of organisations understanding the broader context in which discrimination occurs. Religious discrimination cannot be tackled in isolation from race and ethnicity, as they are often deeply intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Employers Should Do<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the anniversary of the October 7 attacks approaches, the report calls for organisations to take proactive steps to address religious discrimination. To support employees, businesses should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Issue clear statements<\/strong> condemning all forms of religious discrimination, stereotyping, and assumptions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Facilitate balanced conversations<\/strong> about the Israel-Gaza conflict and its impact on employees while ensuring respect for all perspectives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create safe spaces<\/strong> for employees to express their religious identity and address concerns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide training<\/strong> for HR teams and staff on the distinction between political and religious beliefs, particularly to prevent the conflation of Islamophobia with critiques of political ideologies, and antisemitism with anti-Zionism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encourage reporting mechanisms<\/strong> for religious discrimination and ensure follow-up actions that support the victims.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>HR departments, in particular, need to be mindful of how political events can inflame religious tensions and lead to discrimination in the workplace. Organisations must ensure that discussions around sensitive issues are balanced, respectful, and inclusive, rather than shutting them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings of the Pearn Kandola report reveal a deepening divide in the workplace, with religious discrimination on the rise. As highlighted, addressing the intersectionality of race and religion is key to fostering inclusivity. Employers have a duty to act, creating environments where all employees, regardless of their faith or ethnicity, feel supported, safe, and valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anniversary of the October 7 attack presents a critical opportunity for businesses to renew their commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. Now more than ever, proactive action and open dialogue are needed to combat the rise of discrimination and build workplaces that champion mutual respect and understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Religious discrimination is on the rise, with 36% of Muslims and 47% of Jewish workers reporting an increase since 2023.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only a minority of workers have reported incidents to HR, with many feeling isolated and unsupported.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intersectionality between religion and race is key to understanding discrimination faced by Muslim and Jewish employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers must take proactive steps to address and prevent religious discrimination, including fostering balanced discussions and providing HR training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By recognising these issues and taking meaningful action, organisations can create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of the 2023 Israel-Gaza conflict, a worrying increase in workplace discrimination against Muslim and Jewish employees has been revealed.
