Only 38% of neurodivergent employees agree that their organisation provides them with meaningful support 🧠 Just over half, (54%) say their manager welcomes different styles of thinking, processing information, learning and communication. And just 46% say their manager supports neurodivergent individuals at work effectively. Neurodivergent employees are also more likely than their neurotypical colleagues to feel exhausted at work (45% vs. 30%), and more likely to feel lonely at work (23% vs. 17%). This is according to the 2024 Neuroinclusion At Work report by the CIPD and Uptimize 💡 Every workforce is neurodiverse, but when it comes to diversity and inclusion initiatives, neurodiversity is one aspect that can often be overlooked. Roughly 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent and live with one or more neurological conditions, including Dyslexia, Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and OCD. Neurodiversity, as described by Harvard Health, is 'the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits' ⚡️ It's crucial that organisations adopt more inclusive practices and provide better support and the accommodations necessary for individuals to thrive in the workplace, no matter who they are or how their brains work. In this blog, Shannen Pollard, Flexa's Social Lead who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2021, discusses how companies can better support neurodivergent employees: https://lnkd.in/e-ARH-zS 🫶 #DEI #Neurodiversity #FutureOfWork
