Neurodiversity

Around 1 in 7 people in the population are neurodivergent but this number may be much higher.  This means that businesses, regardless of sector or size are likely to have a neurodiverse working population.  It’s important to create inclusive workplaces and cultures that help everyone to feel safe, thrive and to attract a diverse range of talent.  This requires education, awareness and understanding about neurodivergence.

Neurodivergent individuals have a wide range of unique strengths that when understood, recognised, and supported, can be leveraged to optimise their wellbeing, performance, and workplace culture. Research shows that diverse teams, comprised of a range of different perspectives, experience and styles are highly effective teams.

Here are some of the ways that Dr Jo works with organisations to help them to reduce barriers and support their neurodivergent colleagues to thrive:

 

• Coaching and education for leaders and managers about Neurodiversity.
• Promote a culture of inclusion, acceptance and understanding that benefits all employees.
• Coaching and education around communication and the working environment that can help Neurodivergent employees thrive in the workplace and optimise their wellbeing and performance.
• Coaching on how to best support Neurodivergent employees with workflow, expectations and feedback.
• Shine a spotlight on the many Neurodivergent strengths which can be utilised positively to help the employee to feel valued, motivated and make a significant contribution to the team dynamic and the quality of the work.
