Celebrating Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Monday, 21 March 2022

About the event
The subject of ED&I has been front and centre for so many organisations but in looking at embracing diversity, we are often excluding a portion of the workforce from our organisational strategy and policies.
​
As neurodifferences are often stigmatised, invisible, or masked, this group often doesn't have the representation of other groups on the D&I agenda. And we believe this group has so much to contribute to performance, creativity, and innovation within organisations. So, what does a neuro-inclusive organisation look like in practice? How might we get started?
​
We are excited to host a panel on Neurodiversity in the Workplace. In this session, we will cover practical and real-world experience on how organisations can be more neuro-inclusive. While every organisation and culture are different, we have found that many of the core questions and building blocks can overlap.
​
Specifically, we will cover:
-
An introduction to neurodiversity in the workplace
-
Employers’ duty of care under the law
-
Getting buy-in from senior leaders
-
Good practice examples of positive adjustments for individuals
-
Good practice examples at an organisational level
​
As this is a panel discussion, there will be lots of time for questions and interaction with you!

This is a free online event via Zoom.​
