Event Summary
1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent. Employers across Wales have been working hard to raise awareness of neurodivergence and create inclusive workplaces for all, but there is still work to be done to ensure all employees feel supported, included and valued at work.
Join Policy Insight Wales for the return of our Neurodivergence in the Workplace Conference this May.
Hear from industry leaders who will discuss the impact neurodivergence can have on individuals at work. Understand how you can raise awareness of neurodivergence in your workplace and develop a positive culture around neurodivergence at work.
What are your legal responsibilities as an employer? Join us to understand what support you should be providing for neurodivergent employees and how to make reasonable adjustments. Make sure you are up to date with new legislation, including the Flexible Working Act (2023).
Intimidating or inaccessible recruitment and onboarding processes often deter neurodivergent individuals from applying to jobs. Learn how you can change your organisational language and prioritise inclusivity in your policies and processes. Enable your organisation to recruit more neurodivergent talent and diversify your workforce.
We will spotlight key issues including how to create a physically inclusive working environment and implement changes of all sizes to improve the working lives of neurodivergent colleagues.
Join top employers and experts from across Wales for a unique opportunity to learn, network and exchange ideas. Enhance your approach to neurodivergence in the workplace.
