Neurodiversity for HR Professionals: How To Empower & Support Your Neurodivergent Employees

Registration has now closed for this event.

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.  

However, according to research by CIPD, only 10% of HR professionals report that their organisation considers neurodiversity as part of their people management practices.   

Join us as we explain what neurodiversity is all about, and provide practical advice on how you can embed neuro-inclusion within your people management practices.  Here is a flavour of what the session will cover.  

  • 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.   

 

Please note, we use Slido in parts throughout our webinars to allow for audience participation. Our event host will provide clear instructions on how to participate, but there is absolutely no pressure to engage if you do not wish to. You will be able to access the Slido questions by using the camera on your phone to scan a QR code which the presenter will share with you, or by visiting www.slido.com and entering a code that the presenter will share with you.
