Ashleigh Webber at Personnel Today covers the newly released Neurodiversity At Work (2024) report from Pearn Kandola, speaking with Managing Psychologist Clare Reynolds who shared:
“There’s no such thing as your average employee. Diversity of thought and approach can be a huge benefit to employers, if workplaces create an inclusive, harmonious, and welcoming environment.
“Unfortunately, our research shows that all too often this is not the case, with neurodivergent employees revealing that workplaces can be hostile environments. This is not good for employee or employer. It means many employers are missing out on the immense talents, skills and perspectives of neurodivergent people.
“It is important to recognise what neurodiversity is and how to employees can be supported. This can be as small a thing as being mindful of the language used in job adverts or how internal policies are communicated, but the potential benefits are huge.”
