OHW+ Premium only. Watch on-demand.

Employers are increasingly waking up to the benefits of a neurodiverse workforce. The advantages, skills and talents people with conditions such as autism and ADHD can bring to an organisation, especially in terms of innovation, creativity and problem-solving, can be immense.

Yet managing and supporting employees who are neurodiverse can be complex. There may need to be adjustments and accommodations made to ensure they can work to their full potential. Occupational health professionals can play a key leadership role here.

Become an OHW+ Premium member to access this webinar. 

In this exclusive webinar for OHW+ Premium members, neurodiversity expert and chartered occupational psychologist Rebecca Wones examines the opportunities and challenges of managing and supporting neurodiversity in the workplace, with a particular slant on ADHD.

She discusses:

  • How we understand neurodiversity and its role within the workplace
  • How neurodiverse conditions often present differently for men and women
  • The sorts of adjustments employers may be needing to make, especially for employees with ADHD
  • The pivotal leadership, education and advocacy role that occupational health practitioners can have in this conversation
  • How OH can go about ensuring neurodiversity is something to be valued and nurtured within organisations.
