Why Neurodiversity Training is a Business Imperative

The context:

  • One in five people are neurodivergent - including colleagues already working in your organisation, whether they've disclosed or not
  • 53% of Gen Z identify as neurodivergent - they're your future workforce, leadership pipeline, and customer base
  • Half of neurodivergent employees have taken time off or left roles due to inadequate workplace support

The opportunity:

  • 30% higher productivity has been reported by companies with well supported neurodiverse teams
  • A report by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control & Preventation) in the US estimated that US$225 billion could be saved annually through better neuroinclusion practices across organisations worldwide
  • Retention, innovation and engagement improve when neurodivergent talent can genuinely thrive

The opportunity:
Training equips your people with better understanding and the confidence to apply practical ideas to
improve your workplace culture. The result is an organisation where neurodivergent people are able
to contribute and play to their strengths and an inclusive work environment that benefits everyone
on your team.

The benefits of neurodiversity training​

  • Attract neurodivergent talent - become a workplace of choice for younger generations who may identify as neurodivergent or choose to work for a genuinely inclusive company
  • Keep the talent you’ve got - support neurodivergent employees already on your teams
  • Learn what really works - provide tailored accommodations and inclusive leadership
  • Create psychological safety - create an environment where people feel comfortable to share their neurodivergence and thrive
  • Fuel innovation - neurodiverse teams think differently and bring new perspectives
  • Boost your ESG impact - neuroinclusive practices deliver against your social targets
  • Stay ahead of risk - avoid costly, reputation-hitting legal challenges

Workplace Assessments

Audience: Ambassadors / Steering group / HR / DE&I / Managers
Attendee count: Unlimited
Time: 90 minutes

Summary:
A workplace assessment is a tool that enables a person to have equity in the workplace despite challenges as a result of their condition(s). After an assessment, accommodations will be worked on between the person, assessor and manager.

Some traits of a neurodivergent condition are a core challenge and yet not covered in a traditional assessment, even though they are vital for successful team and one-to-one working e.g. communication. We show you how to adapt and accommodate for your neurodivergent colleagues.

Learning outcomes:

  • What is a workplace assessment? What’s different for neurodivergent colleagues?
  • How can a workplace assessment help managers and ND colleagues to work better together?
  • Workshop: What does a neuro-inclusive workplace assessment look like for your organisation?

We want them and their managers to feel supported and confident during such a courageous and sensitive moment in a person’s life.

Learning outcomes:

  • What is disclosure for ND people, and who they disclose to?

Mental health and wellbeing

Audience: Ambassadors / Steering group / HR / DE&I / Wellbeing Team / Managers

Mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression are often very common for neurodivergent colleagues and presents differently compared to someone without a condition.

We help you to understand this and apply compassionate methods to supporting your colleagues.

Learning outcomes:

  • Why supporting mental health could make the biggest impact to workplace productivity and wellbeing.

Learning outcomes:

  • Increase your retention, reduce the need for re-hiring
  • Solving common barriers to retaining neurodivergent colleagues
