We’re going to start trying to regularly feature faith-and-work news in this space as well as continuing our more in-depth posts (book notes, interviews, commentary, live-blogging from conferences, etc.) This comes from the Tablet, a Catholic newsweekly in the UK:
26 August 2014 13:51 by Christopher LambA major survey hoping to garner examples of how religious faith is treated in the workplace in Britain has been launched.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission want to hear from members of the public, employers, and faith groups in order to better understand what is happening in practice.

The survey, which is looking at evidence post-2010, wants to hear about how religion has impacted on job applications, the experience of employees when issues to do with faith arise and how employers respond.
