I'm always searching for information on the issue of hijab in the workplace, but continue to come up with nothing. <br /><br />I was raised Christian and have been deeply interested in Islam for the past few months. I have not labelled myself as "converted" yet, however I read the Quran daily and have found hijab to be extremely liberating in places outside of work. I am a project accountant for a subcontractor and hold a back-office position. I interact with clients almost exclusively over the phone and via email, so I don't anticipate that dressing in hijab will be much of an issue when I do decide I'm ready to convert. <br /><br />I plan on mentioning to my immediate supervisor that I will be wearing full hijab when the time comes. However, for now I am content on gradually adding more modesty to my office attire. <br /><br />The current back-office dress code allows jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts for every day attire. Logically, I don't see a problem with headscarves, long-sleeve shirts, and long skirts, but there's more to it than that. Our company has a small office staff and we work closely under the president and vice president. One of these men can be noticeably discriminating and inappropriate, though I remain positive.<br /><br />Denver, Colorado USALexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921910708887130917noreply@blogger.com
