Neurodiversity is a competitive advantage

Neurodiversity - the natural variation in how people think, feel, and process information - is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s business environment.

With 15-20% of the human population being neurodivergent, and increasing awareness around neurodiversity, businesses are looking to create an environment where employees of all types of minds can thrive and contribute to their full potential.

Additionally, evidence shows that teams with cognitive diversity outperform homogeneous teams - particularly on complex problems - and that bringing together different types of thinkers in teams benefits organisations and reduces risk.

Lastly, designing a great experience for neurodivergent customers is also increasingly on the agenda for forward-thinking organisations.

Human Fabric is your partner to harnessing neurodiversity

At Human Fabric, our assessments are designed to help you identify opportunities to improve neuroinclusion across your business, drawing on international evidence from the global companies that have forged the way, and the emerging best practice.

By partnering with us, you unlock a clear pathway to understand, embrace, and benefit from neurodiversity right through the fabric of your organisation.

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.

Assessment Approach

Our evidence-based Neuroinclusion Assessment gives organisations a clear, practical roadmap to unlock the full value of neurodivergent talent.

Working virtually and collaboratively, we benchmark current practice against the Human Fabric Neuroinclusion Framework to highlight what is already working in your organisation, and where you could improve.

Separate sessions with pre-defined focus areas allows your organisation to involve relevant stakeholders in different parts of the assessment, but also be efficient with their time investment. The process is designed to build shared understanding, explore current strengths and gaps, and co-create a practical, goal-oriented strategy and roadmap for further improvement.

Assessment Outputs
