The Board spokesperson said that the timing of the publication was significant as “Jewish professionals may encounter issues with taking time off work”, adding that anyone experiencing these problems should use the guide to support them.
The booklet also contains information for employers on how to create workplaces that are inviting and inclusive for Jewish employees by helping them understand Jewish observance and festivals.
Additional legal information and guidance is available for both employers and employees.
There is a new chapter titled 5 tips for creating a new Jewish Staff Network, reflecting the growing interest in these workplace organisations.
