also be encouraged as it is vital for maintaining energy levels,
mental clarity, and focus, all of which are crucial for workplace
performance.
3. Promote flexible working arrangements: Consider offering
flexible working arrangements, such as adjusted start and finish
times to accommodate individual needs. Additionally, be
understanding if employees require more breaks or need to
adjust their break timings for prayers.
4. Offer Adequate Resources: Provide resources or information
about healthy practices during Ramadan, such as
recommended dietary guidelines or tips for maintaining energy
levels while fasting. This demonstrates care for employees’
wellbeing and empowers them to make informed choices during
this important time.
5. Ensure Mental Health Support: Organisations must recognise
that fasting and routine changes during Ramadan can have an
impact on mental health. Ensure that employees have access to
the support they may need to prioritise their mental health
throughout Ramadan. Encourage employees to utilise mental
health resources offered by the organisation, such as Employee
Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or provide information about
external resources for stress management and emotional
support.
