This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week and what better way to participate in this time of recognition than to listen to a podcast about neurodiversity, bought to you by the Culturally Intelligent Safety Professional. This week I talk to Alys Barr Internal Communications Manager at ASB who also Chairs their Neurodiversity Network Group.
Listen to Alys as we navigate the world of diverse thinking and how the group creates pathways for their colleagues to learn about neurodiversity. We explore the benefits to organisations in creating space for all types of thinkers leading to innovation and creativity. Alys says that creating this space is not just a fluffy nice to have, that there are real business benefits.
We chat about creating a psychologically safe space where people can be open about their neurodiversity. Check out the show notes which includes IOSH research into how many neuro-diverse people will actually tell their employer, If the results are consistent around the world, then there is a long way to go before we crate true inclusion.
Alys talks about her definition of the employee experience, and it’s a full circle, cradle to grave story from onboarding and training to job satisfaction and leaving. For those who want to learn more from Alys connect with her via LinkedIN.
