Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting observed by Muslims around the world. It is a joyful time of prayer, generosity, family and food, often celebrated over several days. To colleagues who are celebrating, Eid Mubarak. Because the date depends on the sighting of the moon, it may only be confirmed the evening before, so we encourage managers to be flexible with leave requests. If you celebrate and would like to share how you mark it, we would love to hear.

Talking points

For managers and team leads.

- Be flexible with leave, as the exact date may only be confirmed the evening before. - Ask colleagues directly what would help rather than assuming. - Avoid scheduling important meetings or deadlines around the likely date.

Tone note

How to pitch it.

The date may vary by a day depending on moon sighting and community, so confirm with colleagues and keep leave flexible. Invite people to share traditions if they wish rather than presuming everyone observes it in the same way.
