As we face an ever-decreasing talent pool of skilled workers, we need to maximise the performance and productivity of the employees we have. This means creating inclusive workplaces for our neurodivergent employees to attract, retain and maximise their talents.
This Personnel Today masterclass, in association with Make UK, focuses on recognising and managing neurodivergent employees to create safe and comfortable workplaces.
Personnel Today, in association with Make UK, is hosting a series of “Working well together” 30-minute masterclasses focusing on three areas:
• Health and disability in recruitment
• Preventing sexual harassment
• Supporting neurodivergent employees
We look at the following:
- What is neurodiversity?
- Why do we need to train managers?
- How can this benefit the organisation?
We then look into the HR implications, such as labelling some employees as ‘difficult’ or understanding how grievances can be affected by neurodiverse misunderstandings, use of language and how to remedy them.
Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Make UK’s Nicola Kibble, together with Claire Causley from Autism Unlimited, a specialist charity that supports neurodivergent adults and children.
This 30-minute online masterclass includes an audience Q&A.
