HR Q&A: How Workplace Needs Assessments are providing real benefits to employees & achieving DEI goals

Join us for this Q&A session as we explore the pivotal role of Workplace Needs Assessments (WPA) and how they are not only enhancing employee wellbeing but also driving HR teams towards achieving their DEI objectives.

A WPA explores an individual's strengths and challenges associated with their role, and aims to identify suitable adjustments to support them to thrive in the workplace. It provides the individual and their employer with guidance to support them effectively, eliminate challenges, and ultimately create a more supportive work environment.

At Lexxic, our WPA's are trusted by organisations around the world. With demand for WPA's increasing rapidly, we wanted to give you the chance to ask any questions you may have about this fast, effective, and professional method of support for your employees.

The agenda for this event will be shaped by you! Our neurodiversity experts from Lexxic will be answering your questions, whilst sharing their expertise and professional insights on the tangible benefits and practical strategies for integrating them into your organisational practices.

Here are some example questions:

  • What does a Workplace Needs Assessment involve at Lexxic

  • How can organisations offer support, like Workplace Needs Assessments to their employees?

  • What are the benefits to an employees wellbeing and also to the organisation?

There will be the opportunity to ask questions during the session itself via the webinar Q&A function, but you can increase the chances of your question being selected by submitting it in advance.

The window for submitting questions for this event will open from the 9th August. If you have registered for this event you will automatically receive an email with the link where you can submit your questions when the window is open.

Celebrating Uniqueness: Understanding & Empowering Intersectional Neurodiversity Inclusion

Celebrating Uniqueness: Understanding & Empowering Intersectional Neurodiversity Inclusion

In celebration of Neurodiversity Pride Day, which took place on June 16th, we're bringing you an exciting panel discussion with a focus on celebrating uniqueness!

Every person's experience with neurodiversity is unique, shaped by the various contexts and intersecting identities that make up who they are. The concept of intersectionality, introduced by Kimberlé Crenshaw, highlights how an individual can face compounded discrimination or privilege based on the interplay of their multiple social identities like race, gender, sexuality, class, and more.

When we view neurodiversity through this intersectional lens, we understand that being neurodivergent is just one facet of a person's multifaceted identity. Their lived experience as a neurodivergent individual is further nuanced by how their neurodivergence intersects with other aspects of their identity and background.

Join us for a panel discussion where we bring together a group of experts to discuss intersectional neurodiversity inclusion. The panel will share their expertise and lived experience of intersectionality to highlight that an intersectional approach reminds us that no two neurodivergent people's experiences are identical.

Some topics of discussion:

  • The intersections between neurodiversity, such as cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, mental health, socio-economic status

  • Diagnostic disparities

  • Stigma and stereotypes

  • Removing barriers and changing attitudes

  • Advantages to society in working towards an intersectionally inclusive future for all, regardless of label or diagnosis

Neurodivergent employees make up around 15% of the workforce, and often possess many of the skills most important for the future economy: creativity, decision making, problem solving, adaptability and analysis to name just a few.   

Neuro-inclusive HR practices, including recruitment, talent management and employee support, are essential to unlocking these skills and empowering neurodivergent talent to thrive, which can create a competitive advantage for your organisation.

  • What do we mean by neurodiversity and what are neurodifferences?  

  • How might having a neurodifference impact someone at work?   

  • What benefits can neurodiversity bring to your organisation? 

  • What legal obligations do we have as employers around neurodiversity? 

  • What can we do in practice to make our recruitment processes more neuro-inclusive? 

  • What type of assessments can be used to identify neurodivergent traits, and to understand the adjustments that may benefit an individual at work?  

  • What adjustments are appropriate for neurodivergent individuals?  

  • What do we mean by neuro-inclusive talent management, and why is it so important to focus on strengths?  

  • Can neurodivergent individuals make good leaders, and how can we support their career progression?  

 

This session is for you, so if you already have questions that you’d like us to answer please send them to us and we can make sure we cover them during the session.  We will also save time towards the end of the session for additional questions from the audience.

Neuro-inclusive Communications: The Importance of Getting it Right
Jul

Neuro-inclusive Communications: The Importance of Getting it Right

Neuro-inclusion in the workplace involves proactively supporting and empowering neurodivergent individuals at every point of the employee lifecycle. Part of this is how we communicate, which is crucial to ensuring that neurodivergent individuals are able to obtain and interpret information with ease.

In order to achieve neuro-inclusion, we must also consider how we can incorporate neuro-inclusive practices into our communications, both in verbal and written contexts. This can be done via communicating more effectively towards different employees' needs, which can contribute to creating a more inclusive workplace culture within an organisation.

In this session we will discuss:

  • What is neuro-inclusion and how this can be considered in our communications

  • What verbal and written practical applications we can incorporate to support employees' needs

  • The benefits of incorporating neuro-inclusive communications throughout an organisation

  • Available support from Lexxic

  • …and more!

There will be some time towards the end for audience Q&A.
