Neurodiversity

Supporting your neurodivergent employees in the early stages of their careers

If you employ early career talent, it's likely that some of your employees joined your organisation with a neurodivergent profile. They may have informed you about this during the recruitment process prompting you to offer adjustments and support, or they may have chosen to do so after starting their role. Just as you made adjustments during recruitment to help them showcase their potential, it's equally important to continue offering support and fostering a workplace culture where they can thrive. This not only enables them to perform at their best but also allows them to contribute meaningful value to your organisation. Many of these individuals bring top-tier skills that are in high demand.

Embracing difference in a virtual World

With 15% of a workforce being neurodiverse according to AGCAS and a 31% increase in neurodiverse graduates between 2011 and 2017 according to HESA, this represents a significant proportion of an organisation’s current and future workforce. However, according to CIPD only 10% of HR professionals consider neurodiversity in their people management practices.
