A Survey on Inclusion of Religious Diversity in Healthcare Organizations

Abstract

This survey investigates the inclusion of religious diversity in India’s private healthcare sector, recognizing its importance in fostering an inclusive work environment. The study addresses the challenges and benefits of diversity, emphasizing the need for genuine inclusivity. Motivated by India’s religious diversity, the research aims to understand employee attitudes. The quantitative approach involves online surveys with experienced private healthcare workers, excluding government employees and students. Results show a positive trend in religious diversity inclusion but highlight reservations and a lack of awareness about minority religions. The study suggests organizations raise awareness, adopt inclusive policies, and promote understanding to enhance inclusivity. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the positive direction in religious diversity inclusion, calling for increased awareness and genuine inclusivity in private healthcare organizations.
