Neurodiversity
NeurodiversityA Missed Opportunity in the Workplace
Every employee is unique, yet workplaces often rely on a one-size-fits-all approach to management. While this affects everyone, neurodivergent employees feel the impact the most.
Due to their more often spiky cognitive profiles, their abilities vary significantly across tasks—they may excel in complex problem-solving but struggle with routine administrative work, or thrive in deep-focus tasks but find unstructured collaboration difficult.
When these differences aren’t recognized, their strengths go untapped, and their challenges go unsupported.
HR professionals work hard to support employees, but with limited time and resources, truly adapting to each individual’s cognitive profile is an enormous challenge.
- Up to 40% higher problem-solving scores in autistic individuals compared to neurotypicals.
- 30% higher productivity in specialized teams comprised of neurodiverse individuals.
- Yet, 80% of neurodiverse people remain unemployed despite their unique strengths.
