Understanding ADHD at Work
ADHD can significantly impact an individual's performance and experience in the workplace. Employees with ADHD may excel in creative roles where their impulsivity and innovative thinking can shine, yet struggle in traditional, structured environments that demand rigid adherence to protocols. Many factors contribute to these challenges, including executive function impairments, emotional dysregulation, and difficulties with time management. By acknowledging these issues, both employers and employees can work toward creating more accommodating work environments that harness the strengths of neurodivergent individuals.
