<p>Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human brain functioning - the infinite range of differences in individual human brain function and behavioral traits.</p>
<p>A <strong>neuroinclusive workplace</strong> consciously and actively includes all types of information processing, learning and communication styles.</p>

<h2>Seven Guiding Principles for Creating a Neuroinclusive Workplace</h2>
<div class="principles">
<div class="principle">
<h3>1. Understand your starting point and commit to action</h3>
<p>Recognize that your organization is inherently neurodiverse. Create and commit to a long-term plan of action. HR upskilling in neuroinclusion delivers positive outcomes.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>2. Create an open and supportive culture</h3>
<p>Focus on creating psychological safety where people feel comfortable talking about neurodiversity. Start conversations based on an understanding of what neurodiversity means.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>3. Consider neurodiversity in all people management</h3>
<p>Don't wait for disclosure. Review all policies and processes to make them neuroinclusive, from hiring to progression. Train managers on neuroinclusion.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>4. Let individuals lead their own journey</h3>
<p>Be guided by each person's needs and preferences. Don't make assumptions. Invite adjustment requests from everyone to normalize the conversation.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>5. Embrace flexible working</h3>
<p>Enable flexibility in how, when and where people work. Focus on outcomes rather than process. Even small changes can make a significant difference.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>6. Prioritize wellbeing continuously</h3>
<p>Give managers time to focus on people management. Check in regularly. Take swift action to address wellbeing issues.</p>
</div>
<div class="principle">
<h3>7. Amplify neurodivergent voices</h3>
<p>Include neurodivergent staff in shaping neuroinclusion efforts. Recognize their contribution but don't over-burden them with educating the organization.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="center-box">
<h3>The Business Case for Neuroinclusion:</h3>
<p>Organizations that embrace neuroinclusion can achieve benefits in talent acquisition, performance, wellbeing, retention, and innovation. Supporting all types of thinkers isn't just the right thing to do—it's good for business.</p>
