'Yes, vegans should get their own shelf in the office fridge'
to ensure vegan beliefs are respected like anybody else’s. This would include having a separate kitchen to store food in the office and be exempted from activities that would clash with one’s way of life . Other suggestions are: making sure that the employer provides a pension scheme in line with vegan beliefs, exempting vegan from having to buy non-vegan products and cater plant-based options when needed .
We are so used to accepting that, when we are a minority, we can’t expect to be cared or catered for. But acknowledging someone’s necessities, especially in a workplace, comes down to one very important thing: respect. Vegan workplace:"The first thing we need to do is make ourselves heard – even the most sensitive of employers might not think about the everyday challenges people have to face."
More than just a separate shelf in the fridge or new uniforms, respect is what people crave. Veganism is just one of many ‘minorities’ to be found in an office environment, and it would be a mistake to think that is it the only one that is overlooked. Megan, a designer working full time in an office, has an allergy to gluten that means that she can’t use the office toaster or anything else that might be contaminated.
The first thing we need to do is make ourselves heard – even the most sensitive of employers might not think about the everyday challenges people have to face. Hopefully, realising that demanding for our needs to be recognised is our right, will give us enough courage to finally raise our voices.
