It’s not a one size fits all: championing neurodivergent employees' careers

What are organisations doing to enable neurodivergent employees to thrive in their careers? It’s estimated that around 20% of the population are neurodivergent and many HR teams have optimised their recruitment and early careers offer to better meet the needs of all candidates. But, alongside a surge in late neurodivergence self-identification and diagnoses, are we doing the right things to support people at all points of their career journey?

• What changes are needed at touchpoints and transitions throughout the employee lifecycle?
• What barriers and judgements do people leaders need to address in their career processes and culture?
• And how can we give individualised support, so employees feel belonging and thrive in their careers?

For this roundtable we’re delighted to welcome Rachel Foord, Organisational Psychologist and Learning and Career Development Consultant at The Career Innovation Company.  Rachel has experience as a neurodivergent mentor, coach and trainer. Her previous career as an HR practitioner also gives her an insight and understanding of the opportunities and challenges that neurodiversity inclusion presents for organisations.

In this roundtable Rachel will explore:

• How we can enable neurodivergent employees to perform at their best and thrive in their careers
• How to understand and work with the individual experience across the employee lifecycle
• The latest evidence on career barriers and enablers, including case studies
• A practical model for systemic support that you can take back into the workplace
