Immigration and religious pluralism in the workplace
Starting from the observation that among the most significant implications of migration processes there is the multi-religious transformation of society and the world of work, the aim of this project is to analyze the dynamics, needs, impacts and implications related to this transformation with specific regard to organizational contexts and human resources management practices.
Focusing on the role of religion in the management of human resources, the project aims to highlight how this attention can contribute to dynamic paths of inclusion and the transformation of differences – including religious ones – into tools for good business performance and for the co-construction of a fair, inclusive and sustainable development model.
More specifically, the project aims to deepen, in its multiple implications – legal, sociological, managerial, ethical – the phenomenon of religious pluralism in the workplace connected to the processes of employment inclusion of immigrants, through in particular the reconstruction of the regulatory framework of reference (with elements of comparison with other national experiences), the analysis of national employment contracts and the carrying out of 10 company case studies.
In addition to filling an evident knowledge gap on this issue, also caused by the persistence of an "anti-religious" prejudice, the project aims to increase knowledge and awareness of its significant impacts on the quality of integration and interethnic coexistence, with the aim of providing operational guidelines to actors operating in the field of immigration, business managers, to trade unions, public decision-makers and all other parties involved.
