Neuroinclusive Workplaces

Are you building an inclusive workplace? The conference board of Canada has recently put out a report on how to build neuroinclusive workplaces. They recommend the following steps:

1. Awareness training
2. Offer alternatives to traditional hiring processes
3. Develop flexible accommodation processes
4. Build trust: people first management
5. Foster community
