What issue does the conference address
According to studies, as many as 15-20% of humanity is neuroatypical. That's almost one in five people, so there's a good chance you're working with neurodiverse people every day! Despite the fact that neuroatypical people make up such a large part of the population, work, recruitment and education systems are tailored only to people with typically functioning brains. Because of this, such people are less likely to be hired, develop professionally and personally, and succeed in their careers despite having great competencies. So how do we create a workplace that supports neuroatypical people so that they can use their talents to the fullest?
Why support neurodiversity? In inclusive companies, employees:
for longer with the company by 19%
more effectively by 29%
decisions by up to 20%
