Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Employee Expectations and Employer Obligations

Approximately 20% of the population is considered neurodiverse, and they experience and understand the world in unique ways. Neurodiversity includes a wide range of mental health and substance use conditions, as well as some neurological issues. In today’s competitive business environment, employers must create an inclusive workplace where all employees can thrive. But, managing neurodiverse employees comes with its own set of challenges.

Dan Jolivet

In this session, explore practical ways to accommodate neurodiverse individuals, helping them to excel and contribute to the success of your organization. Also learn effective strategies for recruiting and retaining neurodiverse talent, removing the stigma associated with cognitive disabilities and ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and ADA Amendments Act requirements.
