Neurodiversity

Dee Caunt, chief executive at the Dyslexia Association, shares her thoughts on how organisations can support neurodiverse employees and benefit from their unique strengths.

We discuss:

• the concept of neurodiversity;
• the benefits of employing neurodiverse people;
• the challenges that neurodiverse employees may face at work;
• making reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process;
• handling performance issues; and
• getting communication right.

For confidential advice on supporting a dyslexic employee, HR practitioners can call the Dyslexia Association's helpline.
