Why invest in neurodiversity now?

Harnessing neurodivergent talent will become increasingly critical in the AI-driven revolution of work.

The most prevalent skills of neurodivergent individuals align strongly with the core skills that employers seek today, and predict they will need in 2030, as reported in the World Economic Forum (2025). The Future of Work Report.

The bottom line for organisations? The time to understand and embrace cognitive differences is now. 

Talent benefits

Neurodivergent people offer unique strengths.

While they may also experience challenges, they often have a "spikey profile" with some exceptional areas of talent. These commonly include:

  • Creativity & innovation
  • Hyperfocus & attention to detail
  • Complex problem solving
  • Advanced pattern recognition & analytical thinking
  • Resilience & adaptability

And the good news? With 10-20% of the population being neurodivergent, we are already likely part of your workforce today, you just might not realise it.

Diversity benefits

Neurodiverse teams create better business outcomes

Management science has known for some time that diverse teams perform better... and we now know that neurodiverse teams create better business outcomes.

It's unsurprising when you think about it. But to achieve the benefits requires not just the presence of diversity, but also inclusive leadership.

Challenges

However, many workplaces are not designed to enable these talents to shine. 

Instead, neurodivergent individuals face barriers that hinder their potential at work, and impact business outcomes and employee wellbeing. 

Barriers such as:

  • Lack of awareness and understanding
  • Fear of disclosure to communicate needs
  • Communication style differences
  • Team work practices that don't work for their brain
  • Competency frameworks that don't account for "spikey" profiles
  • Unconscious bias in hiring and management
  • Inflexible employer policies
  • Highly sensory work environments
  • Workplace social norms
  • Lack of minor accommodations needed

Challenges

Many teams and managers struggle to fully utilise the strengths of diverse thinking styles:

67%

of neurodivergent employees
think their talents are not used effectively at work

(Almouth & Doyle, 2024). 

83%

of NZ workers
think their leaders are not equipped
to deal with a neurodiverse workforce

(Diversity Works NZ, 2019).

Human Fabric can support you to address these challenges and unlock this potential.
