🧠 As Neurodiversity Celebration Week draws to a close, let’s continue empowering #neurodiverse voices and continue building an inclusive culture! Earlier this week, our People Team shared an insightful blog about Neurodiversity, and shared some really useful links and resources. Today, we hosted a Lunch & Learn where we discussed #neurodiversity and invited our colleagues to share their own experiences. It was inspiring and heart-warming to listen to our colleagues discuss their own journeys as neurodivergent individuals and their different perspectives. We also learned how neurodivergent individuals benefit the workplace, tips for supporting neurodivergent colleagues, and how we can continue to build a more inclusive workplace. 👐 We are proud of the inclusive environment we provide at Cashflows, where we support everyone to thrive. 💜 #ThisisND #people #inclusivity #diversity #cashflows

Neurodiverse thinking in the workplace brings so many positives to an organisation. By embracing different perspectives and approaches, we can access innovative ideas and insights that may have otherwise been overlooked. Research has shown that neurodiverse teams are more creative, better problem solvers, and have higher levels of innovation. By tapping into the unique strengths of individuals with different ways of thinking and working, we can cultivate a culture of #inclusion and create a workplace that welcomes difference. 💙 This week and all that follow, that’s our promise to you. 💬 How are you supporting and celebrating neurodiversity in your organisation?

Are you working in a Neuroinclusive environment? As we continue Neurodiversity Celebration week we are continuing to educate ourselves to ensure we are supporting our clients to be more NeuroInclusive. Neurodiversity is and has always been a human fact: no two brains are alike. And yet, societal and employer awareness of this fact – and of the urgency of doing more to include the perhaps 20% of people who may be neurodivergent in some way – is much more recent. The term ‘neurodiversity’ wasn’t coined until the 1990s, 30 years or so after the beginnings of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), and it has taken until the late 2010s and early 2020s for the employment world to catch up. Neuroinclusion – the inclusion of all types of brains at work – is overdue, as is commitment from organisations to equality of opportunity and outcomes for neurodivergent employees. This should be welcomed with open arms by employers of all kinds as an opportunity to live their values, attract from a broader talent pool, increase retention, and have more effective teams. Neuroinclusion matters not only for business success, but also as a fundamental aspect of treating all employees equitably and embracing diverse ways of thinking. https://lnkd.in/eZk9XVas The seven key principles to guide organisations in fostering neuroinclusion: Understanding and Awareness: - Organisations should educate themselves about neurodiversity and raise awareness among employees. - Recognise that neurodiversity is a valuable asset. Leadership Commitment: - Leadership plays a crucial role in driving neuroinclusion. - Commitment from top management ensures that neurodiversity initiatives are prioritized. Recruitment and Selection: - Create inclusive recruitment processes. Consider alternative methods for assessing candidates’ abilities beyond traditional interviews. Workplace Environment and Culture: - Foster an environment where all employees feel comfortable and included. - Promote understanding, empathy, and respect. Reasonable Adjustments and Accommodations: - Provide reasonable adjustments to accommodate neurodiverse employees. - Tailor support based on individual needs. Career Development and Progression: - Ensure equal opportunities for career growth. - Address any barriers that may hinder neurodiverse employees’ advancement. Communication and Training: - Regularly communicate neuroinclusion efforts to all staff. - Provide training to enhance understanding and skills related to neurodiversity. Embracing neurodiversity benefits everyone and contributes to a more inclusive and innovative workplace! #neurodiversityweek #embraceneurodiversity #inclusion #dei #diversityequityinclusion #settingyouupforsuccess #beyondthebarriers
