Support, Performance and Fair Management.
Understand neurodiversity, build inclusive management skills, and learn practical ways to support neurodivergent colleagues in the workplace.
Neurodiversity is an important part of creating an inclusive and supportive workplace. This practical training session will help managers understand a range of neurodivergent variations and consider how differences in communication, concentration, organisation, sensory processing and working styles may affect an individual’s experience at work.
The session will introduce the legal considerations surrounding neurodiversity and practical advice on reasonable adjustments and how neurodiversity should be considered within your people processes at work.
Who is the training for?
Managers and leaders who want to gain more confidence in their approach to managing individuals and teams with neurodiversity.

By the end of the session, you will have a practical understanding of neurodiversity and how it can affect people differently in the workplace.
