Professional Considerations During Ramadan
April is Celebrate Diversity Month, and as such, we wanted to highlight that Ramadan is being observed April 2 - May 2. With limited exceptions, most Muslims will be fasting throughout the month during daytime hours, generally between 11- 6 hours per day. About twenty percent of the population identifies as Muslim, so it is likely there are colleagues around you who are observing Ramadan.
Things to keep in mind this month for your colleagues:
- They will not eat during the day, and likely will not drink water.
- Their sleep schedule might be shifted due to meal times and family gatherings.
- They might need additional time for prayers.
