Neurodiversity: A Unique Asset

Many organisations have made strides in promoting diversity and inclusion, such as in the areas of gender, culture and age. But there is one dimension that is often overlooked: neurodiversity. 

This isn’t just bad for the talented individuals who find themselves excluded; it’s a risk and missed opportunity for businesses.

Did you know?

• Up to 20% of the global population identifies as neurodivergent, including people diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD or autism.
• Teams made up of a combination of neurodivergent and neurotypical team members outperform those composed of neurotypical-only employees by as much as 30%.
• Despite their unique strengths, unemployment runs as high as 30-40% among neurodivergent people.
  
• It's time to focus on the strengths rather than the challenges. Individuals with neurodivergent thinking styles can bring unique strengths and perspectives: bold mindsets that are necessary in an age of bold transformation. It also supports greater diversity and inclusion in your workplace, which can improve the company's bottom line by 19% according to research by Boston Consulting Group.
  

By fully embracing neurodiversity, leaders can enhance their workforce and foster a culture of innovation and out-of-the-box thinking.
