Are you talking inclusively when it comes to neurodivergence?

27 March 2024

 

Neurodiversity Week falls in March each year. It's a time to celebrate the natural diversity of human minds and the strengths that our neurodivergent colleagues bring to the workplace. That's why it's important we look at neuroinclusive communication within the professional environment, and the changes that we can make to embrace this.  

Why is neuroinclusive communication important? 

Neuroinclusive communication ensures that, as an organisation, we acknowledge the diverse neurological profiles and abilities of all individuals when communicating. This approach allows us to make necessary accommodations to present information in a way that is accessible and inclusive to all. When we communicate neuroinclusively, it benefits both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals. It helps to foster collaboration, enhance understanding, and provide clarity. By facilitating empathy and breaking bias, communicating in this way prioritises the wellbeing of all employees.  

Promoting neuroinclusive communication in the workplace 

Every workforce is made up of a diverse array of employees. By embracing this, businesses and organisations can drive their success, taking advantage of the unique talents and individual perspectives of each staff member. However, in order to do so, employers must prioritise neuroinclusivity.  

So, how can we do this?
