From Neurodiversity To Neuroinclusion

Body Talk

There's lots of talk these days about neurodiversity, and for good reason. As our understanding of the brain grows, we're beginning to see just how complex and varied it can be. But what does that mean for the workplace? How can businesses embrace neurodiversity and create an environment where everyone can thrive?

Neurodiversity is the term used to describe the natural diversity of brain function and wiring. It includes conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and dyslexia. Many businesses are now beginning to understand that neurodiversity can be a source of strength, creativity, and innovation, but there's still more to be done to fully include people who are neurodiverse in the workforce.
