Description

Join our experts as they provide insight on various types of neurodiversity which may exist within your workforce – for example ADHD, autism, OCD and dyslexia – and the typical strengths and challenges of the various conditions. This session will focus on practical ways in which companies can develop their neurodiversity strategy and how to champion a neurodiverse workforce and the ways in which employers and individuals can support and empower neurodivergent colleagues.

Discussion questions include

• Back to basics – what forms of neurodiversity are there, and which may be less well known
• Recruiting neurodiverse talent – where in the hiring process could we better support neurodiverse candidates
• Supporting neurodiverse employees as a colleague – how can we be more inclusive?
