Neurodiversity Advice for the Workplace
If thinking about making your workplace more inclusive and accessible feels like you're standing at the foot of a mountain in a pair of flip flops, then you're not alone.​
​
What is a reasonable adjustment?
​
What can be said or can't be said?​
​
How do we make our meetings more inclusive?
​​​
The common misconception is that big changes are needed to make workplaces more inclusive, but this is mostly not the case. ​​​
​
Companies who shy away or have shied away from small changes to make their hiring processes or workplaces more inclusive have missed out on some extraordinary talent.
​
Neurodivergent employees have been found to be 30% more productive and six times more likely to be innovative than their neurotypical counterparts which is why the likes of EY, JPMorgan Chase and Google are setting up programmes specifically to hire Neurodivergent employees.
JPMorgan Chase reported that some employees hired through its neurodiversity programs were 90% to 140% more productive than others.
