Why this briefing matters

One in five people are neurodivergent - they think, feel, sense, and process information differently than neurotypical brains. Although they may not be talking openly about their differences in your workplace - at least not yet - neurodivergent people are likely already part of your teams.

They have exceptional strengths and offer cognitive diversity to teams - which is increasingly important to solve today's more complex problems.

Yet most workplaces are not designed with them in mind. Many talented employees with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other forms of neurodivergence face invisible barriers to doing their best work – not because of lack of ability, but because of systems, environments, and norms that were never built for different ways of thinking.

Neurodiversity is now firmly on the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion agenda – and business leaders are beginning to realise that neuroinclusive practices aren’t just the right thing to do - they deliver measurable business benefits.

The opportunity from more neuroinclusive organisations

This briefing helps you understand the strategic actions your organisation could take, in order to realise the many benefits of neurodiversity in the workforce:

Greater Innovation and Creative Thinking

Neurodiverse teams bring together unique perspectives that challenge conventional thinking and drive breakthrough ideas.

More Inclusive, Adaptive Leadership

Leading neurodiverse teams builds stronger people leaders - enhancing communication, empathy, and strengths-based management across the board.

Higher Engagement, Retention, and Wellbeing

Inclusive cultures reduce burnout and turnover while increasing job satisfaction and psychological safety for all employees.

Enhanced Team Collaboration and Culture

Neuroinclusive practices promote clearer communication, tailored collaboration, and respectful team dynamics - lifting overall team performance.

Improved Productivity and Performance

Studies show teams that include neurodivergent talent can outperform others - reporting up to 30% gains in productivity and quality.

Access to Untapped Talent and Future-Ready Skills

Neurodivergent individuals often excel in areas like problem-solving, pattern recognition, and innovative thinking - skills in demand for the future of work.

Stronger Employer Brand and DEI Impact

Demonstrating genuine inclusion enhances your reputation, attracts top talent, and positions your organisation as a DEI leader.

Better Customer Experiences and Market Reach

Designing for neurodivergent customers improves accessibility and usability for everyone, expanding your market and improving customer satisfaction.
