Neurodiversity in the workplace training
Gaining insight into neurodiversity provides valuable understanding for thriving day to day. The link between neurodiversity and mental health is increasingly evident: when people aren’t supported in environments that suit them, their wellbeing can suffer.
Imagine trying to grow a cactus through winter in an English cottage garden—it’s not that the cactus is flawed; it’s simply in an environment that has adapted to the plants needs. With some thoughtful adjustments, the cactus will thrive and flourish. People are similar: when the working world is designed largely through a neurotypical lens, neurodiverse individuals may struggle to reach their full potential.
By adjusting our environments and adopting a neurodiverse perspective, we create spaces where everyone can excel. Small changes—like different work approaches and clearer communication—are often low-cost or even cost-neutral and can make a significant positive impact, helping more people be at their best regardless of neurotype and ultimate enabling company success.
