Hi everyone,
From sundown [Insert Date] and until sundown on [Insert Date], our Muslim brothers, sisters, and friends will be celebrating Ramadan, a time for fasting, prayer, and closeness with family and friends.
Whether you are observing Ramadan this year or not, one way to take part in the holiday is to wish those who are, a happy Ramadan. The traditional greeting is "Ramadan Mubarak," which means "blessed Ramadan," or "Ramadan Kareem," which means "generous Ramadan." By taking the time to learn and use these greetings, we can embody the values of inclusion which are so central to our culture here!
And for those who are celebrating: Ramadan Mubarak! We wish you a blessed and meaningful observance. May this month be filled with peace, joy, and renewed spiritual growth.
Thank you,
People Team

Observing Ramadan
Organizations can create a workplace culture that is inclusive and respectful of all religious beliefs, allowing their employees to feel more comfortable and connected in their working environment. Ramadan is a significant time for Muslims, so it is important for organizations to acknowledge this period within the workplace.
There are a few ways an organization can recognize Ramadan begins within the work environment. Firstly, employers should be aware of the particular date Ramadan begins each year as well as its duration, which can vary depending on the country and region. Secondly, employers should inform their staff members about any changes to scheduled hours or activities during this period, such as shorter working days or breaks for prayer. Thirdly, employers can offer food-related benefits or discounts to Muslim employees during the month of Ramadan. Finally, employers could also host events or activities at work to celebrate Eid al-Fitr – commonly known as “the sweet festival” – which marks the end of Ramadan each year.
Organizations should also ensure flexibility in terms of scheduling meetings and work deadlines during this period of fasting. Providing additional rest periods may also be beneficial as temperatures may rise throughout the day due to long hours exposed to direct sunlight while fasting. Many Muslim employees will also appreciate having access to places of worship during lunch breaks or after work hours if possible.
Organizations can also provide resources related to mental health support for those who are struggling with any negative emotions associated with fasting during Ramadan; fatigue and dehydration can sometimes lead to depression and anxiety among some individuals who observe this holy month. Overall, it is essential for organizations to promote an understanding and appreciation towards cultural differences within their team in order to cultivate an environment where everyone feels accepted and respected regardless of their background or religion.
Employers must take into consideration how different cultures observe festive holidays such as Ramadan when creating policies at work as well as providing appropriate accommodations that accommodate each individual’s needs according to their faith practices whenever possible. Doing so will help foster a sense of belonging among team members while promoting diversity within the workplace overall.
