Multi-faith/Prayer Rooms

A multi-faith or prayer room is a space that has been designated in the workplace for employees of different faiths to use for religious observance. Many employers provide a room or a quiet and secluded area that can be used for prayer as well as other religious acts. The rooms provide a quiet space where employees can pray, reflect, meditate or simply sit quietly. Usually some storage place is provided for employees to keep religious belongings, such as prayer mats or beads, religious books or leaflets. Employees from a variety of different religions are normally welcome to use multi-faith/prayer rooms, so access to the rooms is often managed through a central booking system. Some workplaces may have rooms that are designated for specific religions.
