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.

  • 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.
