Thinking Differently About Neurodiversity at Work
When it comes to diversity and inclusion best practices, neurodiversity refers to a space where neurological differences are recognized and respected as any other human variation.
Neurodiverse individuals have unique strengths and experiences that can provide organizations with new perspectives. Moreover, the expectation for companies to advocate and accommodate for neurodiversity is constantly increasing.
So, what does positive change in an organization look like in practice?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution in fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace, however, increasing awareness and education is an advantageous starting point.
In the Supporting Neurodiversity in the Workplace webinar, we are welcoming HR, Managers, and organization leaders to join us to learn and discuss ways to hire, retain, and support neurodiverse talent.
Specifically, we will cover:
- An introduction to neurodiversity in the workplace
- How managers can recruit and empower neurodiverse talent
- What you can start doing today to make your organization more inclusive
