NEURODIVERGENCE IN THE WORKPLACE
Neurodivergence Training for Leaders and All Staff
Evidence based, practical workshops designed to provide leaders and all staff with practical tools that can be implemented immediately in the workplace.
Empower your leaders and all staff with neurodiversity awareness
Neurodiversity describes the broad range of neurological differences among individuals, including neurodivergent and neurotypical people. By understanding and supporting these differences, businesses can uncover a wealth of untapped potential and diverse perspectives.
Neurodivergent Individuals all have unique experiences but may identify with labels such as:
- Autism: Employees may be detail-focused, prefer routines, and be sensitive to sensory stimuli, including noise or light. They may also have unique social communication styles.
- ADHD: Employees might display high energy levels, can be easily distracted, or fluctuate between hyper-focus and periods of low engagement. They often excel in multitasking and innovative thinking.
- Learning Differences: Employees may find certain tasks more challenging, such as reading, writing, or math. They may also exhibit behaviours that can be misunderstood, like avoidant actions or practices stemming from low self esteem.
Why it matters
Neurodivergence is a reality for 6-8% of the adult population. Despite this, many neurodivergent employees feel unsupported or disconnected from their workplace. In order for any organisation to thrive, it’s crucial to create a space where all employees feel accepted and have the resources they need.
Each neurodivergent employee is different but they may have alternative ways of working, such as heightened focus on detail, sensitivity to stimuli, or fluctuating attention levels. Recognising these traits and using them as opportunities can enhance team collaboration and innovation.
Creating an inclusive workplace means celebrating the diverse ways that brains work. Supporting neurodivergent employees through practical solutions not only benefits them but strengthens the collective potential of the entire team.
Our workshops offer a safe space for discussion and are informed by best practice.
