Martha has been an employee at ABC Global for a total of 8years. She has consistently been recognized for her solid work andcreativity and has been twice promoted. Most recently, Marthareceived the Impact Award which is the highest recognition that thecompany bestows and also comes with a $2000 bonus. As ahigh-ranking American-born female of Nigerian descent, she has beenan example to many in the organization in how hard-work &honesty can be rewarded.

Over the last several years, Martha's faith has become moreimportant to her. As such, she silently reads the Bible only on herbreaks and at lunch. A week ago, an employee named Drew complainedthat he was "offended" because he saw Martha reading her Bible.Drew has been with the company 10 years and has also beenrecognized for good performance. A factor that could be consideredis that last year, Drew, Martha and a third employee competed for apromotion of which Martha received. In addition, Drew previouslyexpressed a concern about a co-worker wearing a Sikh turban.

The owners of ABC Global are strongly opposed to any religiouspersecution and have taken a stance of accommodating allfaith-based views whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hinduetc. As a result, an informal survey of the organization has shownseveral employees reading the Torah, the Quran and other books.

Focusing strictly on the legality and ethical issue, as an ABCGlobal leader, how would you address the situation with Drew?
