HR Trend Talks: The EEOC, Religious Bias and Workplace Accommodation Requests

With the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission signaling a renewed emphasis on religious accommodations, employers are facing increased scrutiny over how they handle faith-based accommodation requests and balance competing workplace rights. In fiscal year 2025, the agency filed 11 lawsuits alleging religious bias—its highest number in nearly a decade. Join Brett Owens as he explores the evolving enforcement landscape, recent case trends, and practical guidance for employers navigating the intersection of religious rights and workplace policies.

This event serves as a virtual networking platform for HR professionals to exchange insights and share best practices with their peers. This one-hour session features a 30-minute presentation by Fisher Phillips Partner Brett Owens. Following this discussion, participants will be guided into breakout sessions, providing opportunity to actively engage in conversations, exchange insights, and pose questions to fellow HR professionals.

Space is limited. Registration is required.
