153 — How can we embrace neurodiversity at work?

Jul 9, 2019

When we talk about diversity and inclusion, we often frame it in terms of gender, ethnicity, age or social class. But what about diverse ways of thinking? Where does neurodiversity fit into the equation?  

This week on The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G is joined by Mike Shaw from Emerald Publishing and Jill Miller from the CIPD to discuss:

• what 'neurodiversity' and 'neurodivergent' mean
• the benefits of neurodiversity for organisations
• practical steps leaders can take to promote neurodiversity in the workplace
