Neurodiversity at Work: Recognizing and Welcoming This Aspect of Identity for Women and Everyone

Worldwide estimates of neurodiversity suggest that up to one-fifth of the global population is neurodivergent. And while workplace research remains limited, preliminary evidence suggests that neurodiverse teams exhibit 30% greater levels of productivity than others. So why do corporations still struggle to recruit and retain this overlooked population, and what can business leaders do to change that? 

Activating the true potential of your workforce means understanding and championing the individual situations of every employee. More and more companies are looking to add neurodiversity inclusion to their DEI strategy to combat the talent shortage and create more equitable workplaces so women—and everyone—can thrive. 

Join this webinar to hear our panel of experts discuss: 

• How senior leaders can model empathetic leadership and authenticity to encourage, 

• The invaluable role of people managers in creating safe and supportive dialogues for neurodiverse employees, and 

• Why workplaces that actively support neurodiversity inclusion are more productive.
