Neurodiversity support services – Why they’re important in the workplace
The average workplace can present significant challenges for neurodivergent employees, primarily due to a lack of understanding and accommodation of their unique needs on the part of employers.
Employees with neurodiverse conditions, such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia, often find it difficult to navigate traditional workplace dynamics, and this can lead to increased levels of absenteeism and presenteeism, as well as high turnover rates.
Yet accommodating neurodivergent employees brings multiple benefits for organisations. It allows them to tap into a larger pool of talent and create a workplace that is inclusive and supportive of everyone, which can in turn help to drive increased engagement, innovation and productivity. Despite this and the fact that under the Equality Act 2010, employers must put in place reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities, only 15% of companies currently have a neurodiversity policy in place.
Our support services are designed to help develop a deeper awareness and understanding of neurodiversity across your workforce and will equip your teams with the tools and confidence to implement the right workplace adjustments to effectively support neurodiverse talent, so that you can maximise every employee’s potential and enable all your people to flourish.
