Overview and Purpose
Accessibility at work means designing environments, processes, and technology so everyone can participate fully. Neurodiversity recognises natural variations in thinking and processing, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Harassment prevention ensures a respectful climate where all employees can contribute without fear of harm. Together, these ideas form an inclusive workplace culture that values diverse talent and protects dignity.

The content outlines roles, responsibilities, and the goals of reasonable accommodations, safe reporting channels, and inclusive policies. By the end, you will see how these concepts connect to everyday decisions and interactions at work.
