English term

religious observance purposes

English to Dutch Other Human Resources
Hallo iedereen,

ik begrijp niet goed wat er bedoeld wordt met 'religious observance purposes' in de volgende context:

Cultivating a culture of respect for all employees, customers, vendors, contractors and others in the work environment.

Ensuring a work environment that is free from Discrimination and Harassment.

Role modeling inclusive and respectful behavior in the work environment and all work-related activities; and

Providing reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities and for religious observance purposes, consistent with applicable local law.

Het gaat om een beleid inzake diversiteit.

Alvast bedankt voor jullie hulp!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

vieren van religieuze feestdagen (van andere religies)

Het gaat om mogelijkheden/vrije dagen/tegemoetkomen/flexibiliteit zodat 'diverse' medewerkers (met andere religies dan traditioneel Christelijk) hun religieuze feestdagen kunnen beoefenen/praktizeren/vieren. De observance verwijst dus naar het 'vieren' of beoefenen daarvan.

neutral Barend van Zadelhoff : 'religieuze feestdagen' is veel te beperkt. Daarnaast gaat het om 'redelijke aanpassingen' (reasonable accommodation).

neutral sindy cremer : eens met Barend. Denk dat je het eerder moet zoeken in de richting van gebed, wassen, etc.

Ja, het gaat idd om specifieke voorzieningen of redelijke aanpassingen om tegemoet te komen aan cultureel-religieuze handelingen en gewoonten.
neutral Jan Messchendorp : Eens met Barend en Sindy. Het gaat er hier volgens mij om de werknemers de mogelijkheid te bieden hun religieuze verplichtingen na te komen.
