The workplace is a microcosm of diversity. One in five individuals are neurodivergent, which makes it crucial to acknowledge and appreciate differences in how people work and approach tasks, leading to innovation and creativity in the workplace. However, to fully benefit from this diversity, organisations need to proactively create an environment that embraces neurodiversity and supports employees to work in their own way. Accommodations need to be made to meet the needs of diverse thinkers to enable them to thrive in their roles. Celebrating the strengths that diversity brings while creating a supportive and inclusive work culture is the key to unlocking the potential of all employees.
