Neurodiversity is the natural range of how people think and process information. Neuroinclusion is how we design work so every mind can thrive. This guide brings both together so you can turn intent into action.
Book a chat with our workplace specialists to hear more about strategies for a neuroinclusive workplace and technology for neurodivergent employees.
Neurodiversity recognises that people experience and interact with the world in different ways. It includes conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyspraxia, and differences in executive function. These aren’t deficits, they’re variations in how our brains work. Each brings distinct perspectives, creativity, and problem-solving abilities that strengthen organisations.
Neuroinclusion is about removing the barriers that prevent those strengths from showing up at work. It’s giving people choice in how they read, write, focus, and communicate. It’s reducing the need to disclose, and creating environments where support is built in. When neuroinclusion becomes the norm, everyone benefits.
Of the global adult population, 10% are dyslexic, 6% are dyspraxic, 5% have ADHD, and 1-2% are autistic. Each of these neurodivergent conditions will be experienced differently by every individual. As an employer, it's important to get to know your employees on an individual basis. That way, you'll find out more about their personal strengths and challenges. However, to help give you some awareness we've identified some common characteristics below.
Our Neuroinclusion Playbook gives leaders a practical roadmap for activating neurodivergent talent and designing a culture of belonging. Discover proven strategies from neuroinclusive leaders at EY, SAP, Wells Fargo and more.
Neuroinclusion isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s smart business. Around 15-20% of the population are neurodivergent. That’s 1 in 5 employees, whether diagnosed or not. When workplaces don’t consider neurodiversity, they risk losing out on the unique strengths these employees can bring.
