East Coast Kosher Catering

With employee contra employer lawsuits running rampant in the modern era many civic minded employers are going the extra mile to ensure that all employees are included in the fun of a holiday party.  Only a few short years ago most companies hosted annual Christmas parties which left out a good 20% of the workforce for many companies.  Stastisticians were able to compile research results which indicated a pattern of stagnant productivity, decreased loyalty to the employer and even a higher turnover ratio on or shortly after holiday parties. The report they compiled was titled: "Ethnic Diversity in the Workplace" and it illistrated a pattern of holiday blues amongst many non-christian employees. What the diversity report seemed to suggest is that there has always been a plethora of diversity in the workplace and in fact 20% of employees who refuse to participate in holiday parties are not only Jewish people who do so based on religious observance and kosher requirements but also Muslims, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, and employees from roughly 500 or so other religions who do not feel comfortable going to a company party that has a contrarian religious philosophy.  Since the publishing and HR sharing of the ethnic diversity report many companies have taken drastic steps to cater to the feelings and needs of the employees in the 20% bracket. One company based in Brookline, Mass with over 1200 employees (name withheld) had the HR department review the ethnic diversity report and decided to make some changes to its annual Christmas party. Now instead of calling it a Christmas party they call it the company holiday party. The company took the measures one step further when they decided to hire an east coast kosher cartering company to provide kosher food that was enjoyable to all employees. The kosher food was enjoyed by Muslims (who call there kosher diet Hallal), and Jews alike. The company was amazed that the other 80% of the employees (the workers with no special dietary requirements) did not even notice that it was kosher and in fact many of them commented on the gourmet quality of this years: BBQ Beef, Tilapia, Chocolate Cake, Cabernet Sauvignon, Crackers with Cavier etc. Since  the company made these and a few other HR recommended changes turnover has decreased by almost 20% and they were recently invited to be traded in an ethically responsible mutual fund which was recently touted on NPR...
