🌍Neurodiversity in the Workplace

March 19 | 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

It is estimated that 15-20% of the UK population is neurodivergent which equates to approximately 10 to 13.5 million people who have a different way of thinking, processing information and learning. This includes autistic people, dyslexic people and those who are ADHD or who have dyscalculia.

Neurodivergent people bring unique skills and experiences to the workplace, offering a different perspective that could enhance your business’s productivity, creativity and output. Ensuring our workplaces are neuroinclusive – or inclusive for neurodivergent people – can benefit everyone.

This session is offered as part of the Get Britain Working Trailblazer project in partnership with York and North Yorkshire Combined Mayoral Authority.
