Why is it important to create a neuroinclusive workplace?

At least 1 in 5 of the U.S. population is neurodivergent, contributing unique talents and perspectives across various industries. Despite their strengths, neurodivergent employees often encounter challenges due to neurological differences, affecting areas such as communication, understanding workplace culture, following instructions, learning new tasks, managing schedules, and adapting to physical environments. By fostering a supportive environment, we can help neurodivergent employees thrive while enhancing employers’ productivity, innovation, retention, and overall profitability.
