It is estimated that 15-20% of people worldwide are neurodivergent. By leveraging a strengths-based approach to learning – focusing on what an individual can do best – leaders can embrace the power of their talent. Diverse teams boost creativity and innovation, create greater opportunities for professional growth, and make better decisions over time.1 Companies that believe diversity strengthens their culture and create a flexible, agile and supportive work environment have become more successful at recruiting the right talent, particularly in tough-to-fill skills categories. And company output – including the bottom line – has profited from the lower attrition rates and higher productivity of a diverse workforce. Listen in as our experts discuss how to show up authentically as a leader, best practices for harnessing the unique strengths of neurodiverse talent, and why the best teams are the most diverse. 1 Source: “Neurodiversity at work: a biopsychosocial model and the impact on working adults.” NIH, 2020
