As business leaders, we have a responsibility to call out and address antisemitism. This Hanukkah season, explore ways your company can #shinealight on antisemitism in the workplace and incorporate antisemitism into your DEI trainings and policies.
Speak out about antisemitism and affirm your company's commitment during the week of Hanukkah.
Share your commitment through a press release, social media, and internal company communications.
2. Educate
Educate your employees on antisemitism. Inclusion of antisemitism in your DEI curriculum ensures employees understand the roots of antisemitism and how to recognize and address it in the workplace. #shinealight
Create or support a Jewish Employee Resource Group (ERG) within your company. ERGs provide a proactive forum to talk about antisemitism and create an open line of communication within the workplace. #shinealight
Review your company's policies on religious observances. Policies that accommodate workers of minority faiths (or no faith) promote a better sense of acceptance and greater productivity and talent retention. #shinealight
