The majority of people do not take their religion or culture with them to work at all, because they are not idiots. Most people dress professionally or at least appropriately.
France has outlawed the display of all religious displays in their schools (including headscarves) and employers are free to do the same.
I am only calling a small percentage of people idiots. There are other benefits to banning such things.
The Veil Controversy

But what Islamists use most is intimidation. A survey conducted in France in May 2003 found that 77 percent of girls wearing the hijab said they did so because of physical threats from Islamist groups. A series in the newspaper Libération in 2003 documented how Muslim women and girls in France who refuse to wear the hijab are insulted, rejected, and often physically threatened by Muslim males. One of the teenage girls interviewed said, "Every day, bearded men come to me and advise me strongly on wearing the veil. It is a war. For now, there are no dead, but there are looks and words that do kill."
