Neurodiversity at Work: Practical Guidance for Organisations to Benefit from All Types of Minds

Workplaces are under increasing pressure to innovate, retain talent, and boost wellbeing and engagement. Yet many aren’t designed for diverse ways of thinking - affecting the experience and performance of the 20% of employees who are neurodivergent. In this practical, evidence-based session, Jenny Turner shares why embracing neurodiversity is a powerful strategy for building future-fit organisations. Drawing on her experience as a senior business leader, an ADHD coach, and a neurodiversity consultant, Jenny introduces a new framework to embed neuroinclusion into leadership, culture, and everyday practices - so all minds can thrive and contribute to their full potential.
