SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum: Neurodiversity in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore how we can create neuro-inclusive workplaces that empower neurodivergent colleagues to thrive.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) members who have advisory in their membership package. Our Peer Learning Forums (PLF) are now open to all members who have advisory in their membership package – hosted by our issue experts\, there are 20 forums a year\, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges\, solutions and ideas. \n\n\nAbout the event\nAlthough 15-20% of employees are likely to be neurodivergent\, only 60% of organisations have included a focus on neuro-inclusion (CIPD\, 2024). Neurodiversity is often spoken about in the context of reasonable adjustments or workplace adaptions; to embed neuro-inclusive practices the whole employee lifecycle must be considered. \nIn this Peer Learning forum\, we will speak to guests about what meaningful actions they have taken to enable neurodivergent colleagues to thrive. We will be looking at translatable strategic action which drives both the inclusion and wellbeing of neurodivergent colleagues. \nIn this Peer Learning Forum you will learn about: \n– The need to take action \n– Why neurodivergence is an intersectional issue \n– What other companies have done to increase neuro-inclusion. \nYou will leave the session with: \n– An understanding of the impact that neurodivergence has on the employee lifecycle \n– Clarity on invaluable interventions which empower neurodivergent colleagues \n– Knowledge of how to implement a person-centred approach. \nGuest Speakers\n\nTeagan Robinson-Bell\, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Anchor\, will be joining us to share how Anchor is embedding neuro-inclusion and supporting its 11\,000 strong workforce.\nSaaika Mubeen\, EDI Manager\, General Medical Council\nRachel Qazi\, Investigations Assistant\, General Medical Council\n \n\n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n– Contact Jessica Hart\, Event Coordinator\, BITC for any further questions. \n– Full joining instructions will be sent before the event. \nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
