 OISM
Presentations
Business/Commercial
Institutions
OISM's
goal for working with corporations
is to supplement cultural
diversity education programs,
ensure "fair employment" practices
for Muslim employees as
well as provide better
understanding and tolerance
between employees.
The
focus is to is familiarize
corporate managers and
employees with Islam and
Muslim religious practices
on the job. Our most effective
process is implementing
2-hour educational seminars
for managers and employees,
which are usually scheduled
through Human Resources,
Cultural Diversity departments
or Muslim employees of
that company.
The
first part of our presentation
immediately engages the
participants with a brainstorm
on commonly held perceptions
of Islam and Muslims. After
participants have had a
chance to express their
feelings about the subject,
we describe the true Muslim
identity, sources of perceptions,
and Muslim religious practices
on the job, uncovering
issues such as prayer,
fasting, pilgrimage, Muslim
holidays, dietary requirements,
clothing, and social interaction
involving shaking hands,
eye contact and attending
social events.
