B4: Embrace Neurodiversity: Cultivate a Thriving Environment for Neurodivergent Employees
Speaker | Fia-Lynn Crandall
In this inspiring and engaging workshop, Fia-Lynn Crandall, an autistic “ADHDer” herself, guides you through seeing the workplace through a neurodivergent lens. Aspects of a typical workplace often require neurodivergent team members to work against their nature, often at a significant cost to mental health.
Neurodivergent individuals often bring traits that contribute greatly to innovation and navigating complex change, and are an important asset for any organization to navigate the changing world we are in today.
With approximately 20% of the population being neurodivergent and an unemployment rate as high as seven times the general population, prioritizing mental health and cultivating a workplace environment where neurodivergent individuals can thrive is now more important than ever.
Deepen your understanding of neurodiversity and be inspired to think outside of the box to support the well-being and contribution of neurodivergent team members in this engaging workshop.
