What’s the business case for neurodiversity & disability inclusion? In my sector, I can occasionally switch off and assume everyone understands the basic benefits of inclusion. Until I meet someone who doesn’t 😬 I was chatting with a senior leader who dismissed neurodiversity and disability inclusion in their sector as essentially a waste of time and money. 💡 My response: How many neurodivergent or disabled staff do you employee? They didn’t know. They didn’t think any: “well there’s nobody in a wheelchair” 🤔 Wow. So where do you start with this conversation - get frustrated & annoyed? 😡 Or sympathise, appreciating that they don’t know what you do? 😃 Do you lead with data, or with stories that showcase the human impact? 🖥 This is where I started: Money 💵 money 💵 money 💵! 😂 Don’t judge me! I see businesses thrive when they embrace neurodiversity and disability inclusion. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s a powerful business decision. Here’s why: 💡 Enhanced Innovation: Different minds solve problems in unique ways. People with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia can unlock creative solutions others miss 💵 💡 Improved Engagement: Inclusive environments boost job satisfaction and retention, reducing recruitment costs 💵 💡 Competitive Edge: A diverse workforce that reflects your customer base is better at meeting varied needs 💵 How would you educate someone who doesn’t see the value yet? Let’s broaden the conversation and make inclusion a priority for everyone. #DiversityAndInclusion #Neurodiversity #DisabilityInclusion #BusinessGrowth #AimForward
