Neurodiversity At Work

Estimates vary, but between 15 to 30 per cent of us identify as neurodivergent. Many of us have a growing awareness of neurodiversity through our relationships as family members, carers, friends, colleagues, and community members who acknowledge and value the diversity of our human brains and minds.

This report highlights the experiences of neurodivergent employees working in the UK. It found that the number one signifier that an employer is inclusive for neurodivergent employees was mentioning neurodivergence on the application form, in job adverts and in other recruitment materials. The second largest signifier was asking candidates about the adjustments they needed as this indicated to candidates that they were likely to get the support they needed.
