Be the organisation to unlock the potential in your 1 in 5 neurodivergent staff
We specialise in working with organisations to walk the talk of neuroinclusion.
We use our decades of experience to look at how you can make transformative change to increase productivity through leveraging your biggest asset; your staff. Improving how you do all the usual activities of an organisation — project management, governing your work, communicating, pay and reward, recruitment, and all the rest of it — but neuroinclusively.
This means overhauling your culture and employee experience to improve staff retention. Even through the stickiest of change programmes.
Your staff - whatever their brain wiring - want a few simple things.
Meaningful work
In an organisation that they care about
And career progression
That will look totally different from person to person, and that’s okay. But those basic requirements will be there, at the root of their choice of employer, and how long they will stay with you.
Yet very few organisations are getting all of this right.
Layer on neurodivergence, which remember is a minoritised difference in thinking and approach to processing information, communication preferences, and identity, and these elements become even more critical.
That’s because a neurodivergent person can have deeply rooted strengths around…
Out-of-the-box thinking: ND people often think outside the box and have a unique perspective on the world, which can lead to innovative ideas and solutions. They may think outside the box, make unique connections between ideas, and approach problems in unconventional ways.
Flexibility: Adults with ADHD often have a great deal of flexibility and adaptability, which can serve them well in a constantly changing world. ADHD individuals tend to thrive in dynamic and fast-paced environments. They can quickly adapt to changing circumstances, switch between tasks, and find innovative solutions to challenges.
Honest and Direct Communication: Autistic individuals often exhibit straightforward and honest communication styles. They may have less inclination to engage in social pleasantries or deception, which can contribute to open and genuine interactions.
Quick Thinking and Problem-Solving: Individuals with ADHD often exhibit fast thinking skills and have the ability to think on their feet. They can make connections quickly, see patterns, and find innovative solutions to problems.
Strengths in Social Interaction: The autistic communication experience can vary widely and there are many communication strengths that are not talked about. Many autistic individuals are caring, attentive and highly empathic.
(We thank Divergent Life for the above content that outlines neurodivergence traits).
Imagine harnessing these strengths in your organisation? You can do that by creating an environment that supports the use of these skills.
By implementing the right reasonable adjustments, providing neuroaffirming coaching, and relatively small changes in organisational policies and working practices .
WHAT WE OFFER
We have a very simple, high value approach
We take a people first, neuroaffirming approach to diagnosing what business areas your organisation could improve to make them more neuroinclusive.
Then we support you to implement the recommendations. These recommendations can include:
Reasonable adjustments that support your neurodivergent colleagues to thrive and achieve their potential (read more in our journal)
Changes to recruitment processes that are more neuroinclusive
Adjustments to your people policies that support and enhance neurodiversity rather than exclude
Training on neuroinclusivity
Somatic coaching for neurodivergent individuals
Leadership coaching and strengths analysis
Assessments for staff to understand their neurotypes, strengths and ways to improve productivity
Support for staff to self-advocate
Neuroinclusive sensory restoration workshops for team building and wellbeing reset
No change management process is complete without bringing people along with you. So we will also devise a change management plan using the COM-B model of behaviour change, to embed change with your staff.
And we can help you set up KPIs to monitor how the change is going through delivery and beyond, allowing you, your leadership team, and shareholders/trustees the assurance that neuroinclusion is making a lasting difference.
