Neurodiversity training for your workforce

We provide training to address gaps in understanding of neurodivergence within the customer organisation and to break down barriers to supporting talent who are unaware they are neurodivergent or choose not to disclose.

Now is the time

By 2029, the Millennial and Gen Z generations will make up 72% of the world’s workforce who want to join and stay with an organisation for a new reason: because its efforts, purpose, and goals align to their own and the world around them. Being an inclusive organisation makes you more attractive as an employer. 

As more Gen Z enter the workplace, employers will need to provide a neuroinclusive work environment. In a recent survey 53% of Gen Z said they somewhat or definitely identified as neurodivergent.

Now is the time to attract and retain neurodivergent talent from a largely untapped talent pool. With proper support, neurodivergent employees can thrive in your organisation, bringing fresh perspectives, and strengths in math, data and computer sciences.

Foundations of Neurodiversity eLearning

CPD CERTIFIED TRAINING

NEUROAWARE eLEARNING

auticon offers a 1-hour online learning course that can be delivered through your own learning platform, or ours, to enable all employees to have a base understanding of the ‘Foundations of Neurodiversity’.

The course is the first step in raising awareness and understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace (office-based) for every colleague, at any level, in any industry, even those with zero knowledge of neurodiversity. Topics covered include the importance of neurodiversity terminology, defining neurodiversity, autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, inclusive environments and more.

The course is available as a SCORM package on your Learning Management System, or available on our LMS.

Who is the target audience? 

Every employee could be encouraged to take this course as part of their onboarding.

In the race to recruit, hire, and retain the best talent, up to 20% of job seekers are expected to be neurodivergent, yet most companies are not confident in supporting their needs.

  • Autism and co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and depression may impact a person’s ability to perform in a job interview, in social situations with colleagues, and in managing project deadlines.
  • Challenges can occur despite having the hard skills and qualifications required to be a skilled employee and an asset in a team. 
  • Some may camouflage their traits to fit in at work, which causes exhaustion, as well as refraining from disclosing their condition and asking for the support they need, putting their employment at risk.
  • It is estimated that less than 29% of autistic people are in any form of meaningful employment which aligns with their educational achievements. (Office for National Statistics, UK)
