Understanding Religious Discrimination in the Workplace with Professor Binna Kandola | Pearn Kandola

 In this compelling episode of the Cashflow Show, Clayton M Coke sits down with Professor Binna Kandola, Senior Partner and Co-founder of Pearn Kandola, to discuss the alarming rise in workplace discrimination following the October 7th Gaza conflict. Drawing from Pearn Kandola’s extensive research, which surveyed nearly 7,000 participants across six religions, they explore the pervasive issues of Islamophobia, antisemitism, and how organizations can address these challenges effectively.

Key Topics Discussed:

1. Findings from the Report on Religious Discrimination:
   • Over 36% of Muslims reported experiencing increased Islamophobia since October 7th.
   • Nearly 47% of Jewish individuals reported a rise in workplace antisemitism.
   • Commonality among religious groups: a shared struggle in expressing their faith openly at work.
2. The Role of Social Media in Escalating Discrimination:
   • Social media amplifies emotions and prejudices, creating instantaneous impacts on workplace dynamics.
3. Workplace Challenges for Religious Groups:
   • Many employees feel unsafe reporting discrimination due to fear of backlash or inaction.
   • Jewish and Muslim employees reported feeling unsupported during heightened geopolitical tensions.
4. What Employers Can Do:
   • Avoid making divisive public statements about global events; instead, focus on workplace safety and inclusivity.
   • Encourage leadership to denounce all forms of workplace discrimination.
   • Offer empathy and support through open dialogues with affected colleagues.
   • Revisit anti-discrimination policies and ensure clarity and enforcement.
5. Long-term Solutions for Inclusion:
   • Initiate discussions about religion and its workplace impact.
   • Address stereotypes and biases through training and awareness.
