We provide training to address gaps in understanding of neurodivergence within the customer organization and to break down barriers to supporting talent who are unaware they are neurodivergent or choose not to disclose.
We offer three types of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accredited neurodiversity training programs for employees within organizations.
These can be conducted separately as stand-alone products or as part of a strategic Neuroinclusion Services package for larger tangible impact.
Let neuroinclusion boost your company’s productivity, innovation, and reputation while lowering costs associated with attrition, absences, and stagnant efficiency. Your infrastructure, leaders, managers, and teams need the time and support to get neuroinclusion right. Getting neuroinclusion wrong could lead to unplanned absenteeism, legal disputes, and poor brand equity. On the other hand, getting it right can lead to improved retention, decrease in turnover, and teams that offer innovative perspectives.
You have the opportunity to be the leader and set an example for your industry. Today, you can join organizations around the world that are leading the way in neuroinclusion and defining a new inclusive future for all stakeholders.
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 organization for a new reason: because its efforts, purpose, and goals align to their own and the world around them. Being an inclusive organization 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 organization, bringing fresh perspectives and strengths in a range of roles.
Through actionable neuroinclusive training, our clients improve the economic and social conditions of neurodivergent adults by providing quality careers, unlocking opportunity, and transforming their workplace into a supportive environment.
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.
Every employee could be encouraged to take this course as part of their onboarding.
The NeuroPositive Ambassador CPD-certified course is designed to create your own internal subject-matter experts (SMEs) who can support and guide neurodivergent colleagues and their managers. This will help your neuroinclusion efforts to scale and be sustainable with knowledgable SMEs.
It provides an upskilling opportunity for those employees who want to play a more active role within the organization to foster neuroinclusion. Some of these employees may already be part of ERGs (Employee Resource Groups).
This accreditation suits any person at any seniority level and in any office-based industry. It suits people who would “volunteer” to become a NeuroPositive Ambassador. They may have a personal interest in neurodiversity or job roles that will benefit from such training, including Human Resources, employee relations, occupational health, and more.
The NeuroConfident Manager CPD-accredited course is a training course designed specifically for people managers.
It is a highly practical course filled solely with scenarios and case studies that we know managers face at different points through the entire employee lifecycle.
Each cohort will benefit from around 20 hours of training material. Cohorts of up to 50 people are recommended.
The course is available as a stand-alone training course, or as part of a broader Neuroinclusion Services program.
This course is full of real scenarios experienced by managers of neurodivergent colleagues. It is the training that every manager needs to learn best neuroinclusive management practices.
Manager scenarios only – This is scenario-based training with all scenarios, case studies, and tasks aimed at providing managers with practical tips, tools, and strategies so they know what to do when the situations arise.
A journey through a neurodivergent career lifecycle – The course will focus on the unique relationships and scenarios experienced by a manager of neurodivergent colleagues through the entire employee lifecycle – from recruitment through to professional development, reviews, feedback, etc.
auticon’s training suite consists of 10 modules to help managers, HR & DEI teams understand neurodiversity topics across the employee lifecycle.
These have been designed as interactive training to share our in-depth knowledge and lived experience of neurodiversity.
For organizations that don’t want to purchase our accredited NeuroPositive Ambassador and/or NeuroConfident Manager program, we can design a custom session or entire learning pathway based on your goals and audience. We can “mix and match” across all modules to create customized training to achieve different goals across a range of different audiences.
Foundation modules: All employees
All other advanced modules: Primarily aimed at HR, DEI, managers
The courses can be delivered remotely or in-person.
Our clients experience our autistic teams first-hand, achieving diversity goals and breaking down stereotypes. As a result, auticon builds awareness around neurodiversity, improves internal practices, and contributes to our clients’ success through the work of our highly skilled consultants. “I now have a much thorough understanding of the positive workplace contribution that someone with autism can make,” responded one client in our recent Impact Report survey, “and what autism actually is.”
We share our decade of experience, intellectual property, coaching expertise, and impact measurement, enabling our partners to become neuro-confident and neuro-accepting, and ultimately creating neuroinclusive workspaces, cultures, and teams.
Getting started is easy. The first step is to contact our training team to learn more about your diversity goals. We look forward to hearing from you.
