Neurodiversity at Work^TM Accreditation

^{An evidence-based, tiered recognition with a practical roadmap for neuroinclusive workplaces.}

Human Fabric’s Neurodiversity at Work™ Accreditation helps organisations to review, improve, and gain recognition for creating neuroinclusive workplaces. Built for people & culture and DEI leaders, neurodiversity employee resource groups, and organisational leaders, it provides an independent assessment, practical roadmap, and a mark you can stand behind.

"I developed the Neurodiversity at Work^TM Accreditation to support organisations to understand and harness all types of minds, and provide recognition of their progress in creating a more neuroinclusive employee experience.

The neuroinclusion assessment framework was developed using the emerging best practice globally, and will provide a clear signal of the organisation's commitment to embracing neurodiversity, for neurodivergent talent and customers."

- Jenny Turner, MBA, B.Sc. (Hons)
Founder of the Neurodiversity at Work^TM Accreditation

What is a Neuroinclusion Assessment?

A neuroinclusion assessment is a guided and collaborative evaluation of your organisation’s policies, practices, environments, and operations to assess how well they support neurodivergent talent and customers.

Our assessment measures everything from strategic governance and leadership culture to recruitment processes and team ways of working. The assessment involves a series of workshops with key stakeholders, where we guide you through each assessment area and collectively assess the level of neuroinclusion.

The goal is to generate actionable and prioritised recommendations that pave the way for a truly neuroinclusive organisation. You will gain a clear understanding of where you are at in harnessing neurodiversity, and what you could do to improve and gain the full benefits.

How it works

A virtual and collaborative approach

1) Discovery call

A 30–45 min call to confirm scope, goals, and your context. Human Fabric then provides a quote & standard contract agreement for Client review.

2) Accreditation Contract Signed

Client signs contract to initiate the neuroinclusion assessment planning and start the accreditation process.

3) Kick‑off meeting

A 60-90 min call to plan the assessment process, agree stakeholders for each focus area, and identify supporting documents and data to collate.

4) Optional employee survey

An optional deploment of Human Fabric’s Neuroinclusion Survey to strengthen insights.

5) Collaborative assessment workshops

A series of 2–4 workshop sessions, 60–120 min each, spread over 1–4 weeks (cadence and length to be confirmed in the kick-off meeting). Each with a different focus, e.g., goals, policy & strategy; leadership & accommodations; culture & safety; recruitment & onboarding; spaces & practices. We explore what’s working, align ratings against the framework, and co‑create improvement initiatives and define measures of success.

6) Reporting & strategy

2-3 weeks for Human Fabric to prepare:

Summary Report: Current‑state ratings against best practice, observations, and improvement recommendations.
Heat‑map: colour‑coded snapshot of strengths and gaps.
Neuroinclusion Strategy (2 pages): goals, KPIs, and a sequenced roadmap of initiatives.

7) Leadership presentation & commitment
