Creating a workplace that supports neurodiversity goes beyond awareness. It means building a culture that respects individual differences, provides tailored career journeys, and ensures fair opportunities from the very first stage: hiring.
In this episode of Workplace 2.0, our Founder, Iain, was joined by two incredible speakers to discuss how to approach hiring with neurodiversity in mind:
Andrea Anderson – Creative Career Coach and Founder of Who I Am
After discovering she is autistic at the age of 45, Andrea’s mission to create environments where humans can thrive finally fell into place. She now helps people gain clarity on their identity and direction, empowering them to be bolder in confidence, creativity and impact.
Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi – Inclusion and Cohesion Specialist and Founder of BCohCo Ltd
Katie has over 15 years’ experience in building sustainable communities through her consultancy, BCohCo. She delivers training, development and consultation in Diversity, Inclusion, Cohesion and Equality (DICE), providing the tools and knowledge to embed inclusive practice both personally and professionally.
Key takeaways from this episode include:
- How neurodiversity can shape the way people experience and interact with the world
- The adaptations neurodivergent candidates often have to make to access opportunities
- Common pitfalls organisations fall into when addressing neurodiversity
- Practical ways to make hiring processes and workplaces more inclusive
- Why managers and leaders should adapt to fit candidates, not expect candidates to fit them
