Neurodiversity And L&D: How Can We Better Support People? | L&D Disrupt Live | Episode 47

“Thinking, attention, memory and behaviour can all be different for someone who is neurodivergent.” 

And with around 20% of the population being neurodivergent, it’s time for a conversation on how L&D can better support employees.

Hayley Brackley, Neurodiversity Specialist and founder of Great Minds Don’t, joined us to have that conversation.

From day-to-day actions we can all take to build a better culture to how we build live sessions and resources, this episode is packed with tangible lessons you can apply today.
