Neurodiversity can sometimes feel like a bit of a tricky subject.
What can I say? What shouldn’t I say? What do I do if someone tells me they’re neurodivergent?
But actually, a lot of it comes back to simply being a good manager.
I’ve created a practical Managers Guide to make some of this easier and give managers some useful things to think about.
It feels particularly relevant as younger generations come into the workplace with a much better understanding of who they are, how their brains work and what helps them do their best work.
If managers can understand some of that language too, they’re in a much better position to communicate well and get the best from their people.
And the funny thing is, most of the advice helps everyone. You don’t need to be neurodivergent, or even know whether you are, to benefit from clearer communication, clearer expectations and better management.
For businesses wanting to take a more tailored approach, @stu and @Hannah also offer their NIq Audit process, helping organisations look more closely at neuroinclusion within the workplace.
💜 For ADHD Awareness Month, use code ADHDAWARE25 for 25% off the Managers Guide until 31 October.
Hope it’s useful 😊

If you would like to hear @Hannah and my interview with @emma-beattieunmaskedstudio-co-uk then have a listen to the Business Oddcast ep 38 here: https://businessoddcast.com/podcast/guest-special-emma-beattie-from-unmasked-studio-s01e38/
Emma shares her journey thus far and has some very interesting insights re: employment and recruitment for neurodivergent candidates.
