Muslim Employment Charter (MEC) Qays Sediqi About Diversity & Inclusion | Ask Founders Series 1

In the first episode of the Ask Founders Series, hosted by Didi Ogbo, we welcomed Qays Sediqi, a Human Rights lawyer, and the Ambassador of the Muslim Employment Charter (MEC) and Sara Maghouz who is a Trainee Solicitor at Dragon Argent.

We had a great conversation with Qays about why MEC was founded and how it is helping employees and employers better accommodate the needs of Muslim professionals in the workplace. We touched on how employers can create an environment where Muslim professionals can thrive in their careers without compromising their religious duties, as well as the legal ramifications of not abiding by diversity and inclusion regulations.

This was an amazing and insightful episode for us to record and hopefully for you to watch. Share your opinions in the comments and we hope you enjoy!

About Muslim Employment Charter (MEC)

Get clarity and guidance on how to meet the needs of your Muslim employees.

Muslim employees often feel like they're making a guilty trade-off between meeting the requirements of a demanding job whilst taking time to fulfil their religious duties. This feeling of guilt adversely impacts employee well-being, performance and retention.

​Employers who partner with MEC commit to implementing our 3-part charter into their organisation. The charter collectively represents solutions to Muslim professionals' most common workplace issues.

By standardising simple workplace accommodations and policies, employers are able to create a truly inclusive environment effortlessly.
