But the idea of a neurodiverse workplace is still relatively new.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s5\">Neurodiversity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"s8\">Nearly 6.3 million people (around 10% of the UK population) have dyslexia, and people with dyslexia often have other conditions, including dyscalculia (difficulties with numbers), ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). These types of hidden disabilities are now more understood and organisations are growing acutely aware of the importance of ensuring work environments are welcoming to neurodiverse staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s8\">Employers are beginning<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> to learn that <\/span><span class=\"s8\">they <\/span><span class=\"s9\">need the benefits that diversity can bring<\/span><span class=\"s8\">.<\/span> <span class=\"s8\">For example,<\/span><span class=\"s10\">neurodiverse <\/span><span class=\"s8\">individuals<\/span> <span class=\"s9\">may not <\/span><span class=\"s8\">flourish in<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> a traditional interview format, but they still have lots to bring to the table, including the ability to approach problems from a different angle and consider innovative solutions to business challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s8\">Similarly<\/span><span class=\"s9\">, people on the dyslexia spectrum may be a good fit for careers in creative industries, due to their unique strengths in interpreting and visualising designs. <\/span><span class=\"s10\">Autistic people<\/span><span class=\"s10\">, t<\/span><span class=\"s9\">oo, are usually disproportionately skilled in data analysis and IT-related tasks, compared to their neurotypical <\/span><span class=\"s8\">counterparts<\/span><span class=\"s9\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s9\">Many high-profile businesspeople, politicians and celebrities have spoken openly about their neurodiversity, such as Virgin Group founder Richard Branson<\/span><span class=\"s8\">, <\/span><span class=\"s9\">Apple co-founder <\/span><span class=\"s9\">Steve Jobs<\/span><span class=\"s9\">, IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad, HP co-<\/span><span class=\"s8\">founder<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> Willia<\/span><span class=\"s8\">m Hewlett and filmmaker Steven Spielberg<\/span><span class=\"s9\">. Prominent examples of <\/span><span class=\"s9\">neurodiverse individuals<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> making their mark on the C-suite and, in part, crediting their rise to the benefits of<\/span><span class=\"s8\">their<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> neurodivers<\/span><span class=\"s8\">ity<\/span><span class=\"s9\">, clearly shows how alternative thinking styles can make a real impact in business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s5\">Barriers<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s8\">However<\/span><span class=\"s9\">, the full potential of neurodiverse people isn\u2019t being realised as a result of both structural and informal workplace barriers, starting at the recruitment stage. If you think of how <\/span><span class=\"s8\">organisations<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> recruit staff, it can be an unnecessarily complex process for neurodiverse job seekers. If you go onto the vast majority of job websites they ask for a cover letter and CV, which means a lot of writing and literacy skills will be required in this process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s9\">When <\/span><span class=\"s8\">I <\/span><span class=\"s9\">speak to organi<\/span><span class=\"s8\">s<\/span><span class=\"s9\">ations on how to better reach out to the large number of talented neurodiverse job seekers, <\/span><span class=\"s8\">I<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> always <\/span><span class=\"s8\">ask them,<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> \u201c<\/span><span class=\"s9\">Do you want a member of staff who is good at interviews or one that is good at doing the job?<\/span><span class=\"s9\">\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> For task<\/span><span class=\"s8\">-oriented<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> jobs, like coding, it\u2019s better to have a <\/span><span class=\"s8\">practical<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> interview, where applicants are given a task to perform &#8211; demonstrati<\/span><span class=\"s8\">ng<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> how they will actually do the work itself, rather than how they can answer questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s9\">Once a neurodiverse candidate has been hired there can be issues aroun<\/span><span class=\"s10\">d <\/span><span class=\"s10\">managers<\/span><span class=\"s9\"> not fully understanding what exactly Autism or Aspergers is and how to best support staff who are neurodiverse. Re<\/span><span class=\"s8\">asonable<\/span><span class=\"s9\">workplace adjustments, such as providing a screen reader or noise cancelling headphones can drastically change the work environment for neurodiv<\/span><span class=\"s11\">erse people. Software, too, can be a key enabler. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s8\">I&#8217;ve spoken to many people who, because of their neurodiversity, have had the glass ceiling imposed on them when starting a new job <\/span><span class=\"s11\">but once they begin us<\/span><span class=\"s8\">ing<\/span> <span class=\"s8\">the right <\/span><span class=\"s11\">software and tools, they start to climb the corporate ladder. It&#8217;s a s<\/span><span class=\"s9\">mall piece of software that turns their career into a success story<\/span><span class=\"s8\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s6\"><span class=\"s8\">Diversity and inclusion are rapidly moving up the C-suite agenda, and what I would say to organisations is, <\/span><span class=\"s8\">don\u2019t be afraid of recruiting someone from a neurodiverse background<\/span><span class=\"s8\">. <\/span><span class=\"s8\">They can bring a great strength and a real depth to your business that you\u2019ve never had before<\/span><span class=\"s8\">; this can enable your organisation to be more productive, more creative and experience more success in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s5\">Interested in learning more?
