Why does neurodivergence training matter?

Neurodivergence training helps workplaces recognise and support neurodivergent employees with tailored strategies designed to benefit all staff members. This training improves inclusion and communication, and unlocks diverse talents to boost overall team success.

  • As many as 6% to 8% of the global adult population is estimated to be neurodivergent.
  • Only 1 in 5 autistic individuals in New Zealand feel accepted by society.
  • Many neurodivergent employees do not share their support needs with employers.
  • Your organisation can benefit from recognising neurodiversity and supporting your neurodivergent employees with tailored strategies that help them thrive.

  • Learn how to communicate effectively within neurodiverse teams, respecting everyone’s unique needs.
  • Understand the emotional signals that you or your team members may show and how to offer and receive appropriate support.
