Neurodiversity at Work: From Risk to Opportunity
Join the Insurance Institute of Norwich for a practical one-hour webinar exploring neurodiversity in the workplace and how organisations can create working conditions in which more people are able to perform at their best.
Neurodiversity is increasingly part of workplace conversation, but many people remain unsure what it means in practice, including what language to use, what support can help and how to take positive action without inadvertently creating greater exclusion.
This session moves beyond diagnosis-by-diagnosis awareness and looks at how straightforward changes to communication, technology, working practices and management can help reduce unnecessary barriers, support individual performance and benefit the wider workforce.
Participants will explore
Neurodiversity in practical terms, including appropriate terminology, common misconceptions and why individual experiences can vary significantly.
Why people may find it difficult to ask for support, including issues around disclosure, diagnosis and perceived risk.
Practical everyday adjustments across communication, information, technology, meetings and working practices.
Why universal approaches can benefit many people without requiring individuals to identify themselves as different.
How cognitive accessibility can support talent, productivity, retention and wider organisational performance.
Learning objectives
By the end of the session, attendees should be able to:
-
Explain neurodiversity using appropriate and inclusive language.
