Festival of Workplace Inclusion 2023
How can we transform tomorrow for neuro-inclusion?
Today, we’re seeing more organizations taking steps towards a more neuro-inclusive world of work. In fact, 75% of people say their organization offers support for neurodivergent people (such as those with Autism and Dyslexia). That is, according to research conducted by Texthelp – a global inclusive technology company.
Despite this, of the neurodivergent workers surveyed 64% felt their organization could be doing more to support them.
Elaborating on their experiences, among the 500 neurodivergent workers that took part in the study, common challenges shared included:
- Difficulty in recruitment and interview processes (34%)
- A lack of career progression (32%)
- Communication barriers (56%)
- And, stigma (61%)
As we look ahead – how can we make a bigger impact for tomorrow?
