Tune In: Empowering workforces to be neuroinclusive
Fri 10 Jan 2025 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM GMT
Online, Teams
Description
Diverse minds bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. According to Deloitte, “organisations that make an extra effort to recruit, retain, and nurture neurodivergent workers can gain a competitive edge from increased diversity in skills, ways of thinking, and approaches to problem-solving”, and with an estimated 15-20% of adults being neurodivergent, businesses that fail to support neurodiverse individuals risk falling behind. It's essential for businesses to support the neurodivergent community by making necessary accommodations for everyone, regardless of diagnosis.
Join us for an enlightening discussion as we 'Tune In' to the voices of the neurodivergent community. Learn practical steps and strategies to foster a neuroinclusive workplace culture that values and supports every employee.
This conversation will be led by:
- Becs Tridgell, Training Coordinator at Autism Unlimited: Sharing knowledge and understanding on how your workplace can support neurodivergent individuals to feel valued and able to be themselves at work.
- Sally Pritchett, CEO of Something Big: Providing strategies on the role of communications and wider workplace cultural change.
We will explore:
- The benefits of a neuroinclusive workforce
- Common challenges faced by neurodivergent people
- How effective communication can create a culture of understanding and acceptance.
- Practical tips for creating a neuroinclusive workplace
Join us to gain actionable insights and help make your workplace fairer, healthier, and happier for all.
