What Your Neurodivergent Colleagues Wish You Knew
Practical tools to retain talent and reduce avoidable friction for 1 in 5 of your workforce (and beyond).
1 in 5 of your employees is potentially neurodivergent. ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other neurological differences are far more common than most workplaces account for. The majority of neurodivergent employees are undiagnosed. Many of those who are diagnosed do not disclose at work.
They are masking. Compensating. Working significantly harder to meet norms that were designed without them in mind. The cost is real: higher rates of burnout, stress-related absence, underperformance and turnover.
This is not about accommodating a small minority. It is about recognising that your meetings, feedback processes, onboarding, communication norms and physical environments were designed for a neurotypical default that does not describe a large portion of your team.
In this keynote, Stine Marsal draws on lived experience, clinical expertise and qualitative research to show what neurodivergent employees actually experience at work. She translates that into practical tools for meetings, feedback, onboarding and everyday collaboration.
The changes are specific, low-cost and improve the working environment for everyone.
What you will leave with:
What undiagnosed and undisclosed neurodivergence looks like in daily work and why existing HR practices often miss it.
The specific workplace situations that create the most friction for neurodivergent employees.
Practical adjustments for meetings, feedback, communication and onboarding that you can apply before your next team meeting.
How these changes improve focus, participation and output for all employees, not only those who are neurodivergent.
Who this is for:
Leaders, HR professionals and teams who want to retain neurodivergent talent and reduce avoidable friction. Relevant for any organisation that runs meetings, gives feedback and onboards new employees.
