Although it is estimated that 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent, many people do not disclose a neurodiverse condition to their employer or remain undiagnosed. [1]
Most workplaces are designed for neurotypical individuals and pay little attention to the needs of neurodiverse colleagues. A few simple workplace adjustments can go a long way in supporting all colleagues to be more productive at work.
Dr Jill Miller is the Policy Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion at CIPD. In this video, Jill provides a better understanding of neurodiverse colleagues’ experiences’ and gives insights into cost-effective ways to support them at work.
