Downing Street faith summit

A summit on faith in the workplace was held in the PM’s office at No 10. It was chaired by Christian MP John Glen, chief secretary to the Treasury. National and multinational companies shared how they are welcoming employees to bring their whole selves to work, faith and all, by encouraging faith-friendly policies. They see a person’s religious beliefs as an asset with bottom line benefits rather than a problem to be solved or avoided. At the event, OVO Energy received the award for being the most faith-friendly national UK workplace in 2023. The group announced that a national summit on Faith-and-Belief@Work will be held in November at London’s Salesforce Tower. Rishi Sunak, the UK’s first Hindu PM, is invited to keynote the summit.
