Ramadan

King's multicultural network Kaleidoscope provided some amazing tips for Ramadan so we can show support and understanding to our colleagues who are observing. 

Here’s how we can make their month a bit easier and more meaningful:

☪ Flexibility is Key: Understand that fasting from dawn till dusk can be taxing. Small adjustments can make a big difference in their day-to-day during Ramadan.

☪ Quiet Spaces: Provide a quiet space for prayer and reflection. Having a dedicated area in the office where your colleagues can pray in peace is a thoughtful and appreciated gesture.

☪ Respect Their Fast: Avoid scheduling lunch meetings or offering snacks and drinks during fasting hours. It’s a small act of respect that goes a long way.

☪ Learn and Share: Use this time to educate yourself and your team about Ramadan. Encouraging awareness and understanding fosters a more inclusive and supportive Kingdom.

☪ Celebrate Together: Organize an iftar (the meal to break the fast) or a potluck towards the end of Ramadan. It’s a great way to bring everyone together, celebrate the efforts of your colleagues, and enjoy delicious food!

☪ Encourage Charity and Volunteering: Ramadan is also a time of giving. Organize or participate in charity events as a team. It’s a meaningful way to bond and give back to the community.
