Leveraging A Neurodivergent Talent Pool
Episode description
Our first episode of our third season starts with a look into hiring practices at a global financial institution already known for its award winning autism and disability inclusion hiring practices. This episode looks into a relatively new set of business practices known as the Business Solutions Team ("BeST") program, an initiative with a mission to match intellectually and developmentally disabled employees with roles that fit their skill sets.
In this episode, I interview BeST Program leaders Bryan Gill, Celia Rodee and Danielle Meadows, who all share their experiences on the program's origin, challenges with running the initiative as a start-up within an established institution and where they see the future of the program going along with others like it.
