Continuing their chat about tangible accommodations for neurodiverse employees, Mat and Shawna dive into the science of neurodiversity. Are we all neurodiverse, or has social media taken over the world of medicine? This episode offers additional tools for you to use or gain a better understanding of, giving a glimpse into the mind of the neurodiverse.
Expanding on the previous episode, we go deeper into strategies that can be put into action. We'll share some tools and insights aimed at benefiting employees, employers, teachers, students, and a variety of environments.
Between work-from-home/hybrid options to open office layouts and bullpens, office life can come in all forms these days. Some people love the freedom of choice, but for some neurodiverse individuals, all these options can come with their own set of challenges. We look at how companies can have conversations with employees to find unique solutions that balance the company's culture and individual needs while promoting a positive company culture. It could be as easy as providing employees with a dedicated workspace or a quiet corner to help them focus and reduce anxiety.
Neurodivergent individuals may experience heightened sensitivity and intensity compared to neurotypical individuals. This sensitivity can contribute to their ability to excel and reach high levels of skill and even genius. For example, it is often their increased sensitivity that allows them to intensely focus on their passions. We explore some other ways employers can create work environments that minimize distractions and support the productivity of neurodivergent individuals.
From dress codes and fluorescent lights, to effective communication and the Pomodoro technique for sustained focus, join us as we delve ever deeper into the fascinating topic of Accommodating and Understanding Neurodiversity in the Workplace.
