Show Notes
This week’s podcast guest is Dr. Nancy Doyle, Chief Research Officer at Genius Within and Co-Director at the Centre for Neurodiversity at Work.
In our conversation, Nancy and I discuss:
- That 15 to 20% of the population are neurodiverse, so we are all managing neurodivergent people in our organisations, whether we realise it or not
- How to build organisations that are inclusive to the needs of neurodivergent people, including the most important touch points in the employee journey that should be addressed
- The business benefits of hiring neurodiverse individuals, including examples from organisations such as Microsoft
- The research that Nancy, is currently heading up at the Centre for Neurodiversity at Work, including the intersection of exclusion of autistic people across the globe and autistic people's experience of bringing their authentic selves to work
- How practitioners can stay up to date with research in the academic sphere
