Overview of Neurodiversity in the Workplace

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brain function and behavior that affects how people think, learn, and interact. In the workplace, this includes conditions such as autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and more.

Embracing neurodiversity means recognizing that these differences bring unique strengths as well as distinct needs. An inclusive approach helps all employees succeed and contributes to better problem solving, innovation, and performance.

Key Concepts
