Is your company talking about Neurodivergence in the workplace yet?
Neurodivergence is an umbrella term that includes those on the Autism Spectrum, those with ADHD, and even individuals with OCD, PTSD, brain injury, giftedness, executive functioning disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Tourette Syndrome, learning disabilities, and sensory processing disorders.
Far from being a minority of the population, Neurodivergent individuals make up 15-20% of the population.
With 1 in 50 people being diagnosed as neurodivergent (ND) and even more going undiagnosed and silently struggling, it is clear that we need to pay more attention to how companies and cultures make space for neurodivergence. Neurodivergent individuals bring key skills, perspectives, and talents to their teams.
However, ND individuals are also more likely to experience mental health issues, burnout, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships at work. They are also more likely to experience trauma as a result of workplaces that do not understand them and therefore cannot adequately support their needs.
It is true that ND individuals process work differently. Some ND conditions classify as disabilities. However, the strategies that create safe and supportive workplaces for ND individuals to thrive, are critical strategies that help every employee become happier, healthier, more productive and more engaged at work.
That’s why we’re bringing you this training.
Co-founder of The Expert Talk, Dr. Erin Watson, knows the importance of centering neurodivergent voices and experiences in any training aimed at better supporting neurodivergent people's experiences at work. As a neurodivergent person herself, Erin brings to this training knowledge from current research and her own lived experience to help leaders and colleagues be supportive and knowledgeable allies for ND team members.
The results of her workshops have been:
- Increased understanding of how all brains have unique strengths and struggles
- Increased connection, cohesion, and productivity across all neurotypes
- Reduction in stigma around neurodivergence

Why Do You Need This?
- Neurodivergent people face barriers to career progression that often leave them at a standstill. They are less likely to progress in careers not because a lack of talent or ability, but because small accommodations are not made that could have a huge impact on their efficacy and engagement.
- Neurodivergent ppl may not admit to needing help and so you may miss cues that they are burning out
- Most leaders and employees have fewer than 4 hours training in communication and conflict resolution. Yet they spend a lot of time dealing with - and losing sleep over - exactly these issues.
- Awareness training is critical. The next few years all you will be hearing about is Neuroinclusivity. Take the lead now in creating a new future for all employees.
What you’ll learn …
- the current landscape of neurodivergence (who it is, what it is, what it means and what it doesn’t mean)
- what it is like to be neurodivergent
- how neurodivergence affects work
- Uncover the stereotypes of what neurodivergent people are like and reframe your assumptions (without feeling shamed or judged) – expand your awareness and understanding of neurodivergent people
- Understand what support needs are and how to navigate between high and low support needs
- How neurodivergence intersects with the 13 factors that create psychologically safe and healthy workplaces
- What struggles and strengths do Neurodivergent people experience and bring to work (from focus and productivity, to interpersonal relationships and emotional wellbeing)
- How stigmatizing company cultures can lead to “masking”, which is correlated with severe mental health outcomes
- What unrecognized neurodivergence can feel like and show up as (signs and symptoms) and the implications of that on inter-personal effectiveness
- What neurodivergent burnout is, how it relates to masking, and the direct implications it has for mental health, disability, and work-leave policy
- common mis-diagnoses and the implications of that for ND employees
PLUS: Simple shifts that can support everyone, regardless of Neurotype
This workshop will show you that you don’t need to have specific employees diagnoses or disclosures and that your efforts don’t need to be tailored per individual.
You'll be able to respect and accommodate individual needs by getting the entire team on board and participating in creating a neuroinclusive culture. It wont be all on you. We don’t want you to burn out too!!
This workshop won’t happen again until October.
