Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • As religious diversity continues to grow in the workplace, it's important for employers to consider the unique dietary needs of their employees.
  • For Jewish or Muslim employees who follow dietary restrictions based on their religious beliefs, finding food options that meet their requirements can be a challenge, particularly in employee cafeterias that may not offer halal or kosher options.
  • This has led to a debate over whether employers should accommodate these requests for halal or kosher food in the employee cafeteria.
  • In this article, we will explore the reasons why these requests should be accommodated and the benefits that come with it.
  • We will also examine the factors that employers should consider before making a decision on providing halal or kosher food options in the workplace.
